Upcoming Events
Refuge staff, volunteers, and partners regularly host different programs and events throughout the year that enable visitors to connect to nature, wildlife, and the refuge lands. Our annual events include Spring Spectacular (May 10th, 2025) a celebration welcoming spring back to the swamps; Family Fishing Day (June 7th, 2025) a free day of fishing for the whole family with no permits required; and Veteran Family Fishing Day (July 12th, 2025) a free fishing day for veterans and their families. Check our events calendar below for updates on events and programs throughout the year! Reach out to logan_sauer@fws.gov to schedule a program, regardless if refuge staff support and accommodations are needed. We like to keep tabs on what goes on around the refuge to ensure everyone will have a smooth and uninterrupted experience.
