Status of Operations
In keeping with guidance from the White House and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and acting out of an abundance of caution, we are temporarily suspending operations of the Visitor Center. We are committed to doing our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure the health and safety of our employees, volunteers, and you--our friends and neighbors. Therefore, planned Refuge events and programs may not take place as scheduled. Refuge lands, including nature trails and outdoor recreational activities, remain open and accessible to the public. Please visit refuge information kiosks or brochure boxes for visitor information and refuge maps. We apologize for any inconvenience and will provide updates as they become available.

Safety
US Fish and Wildlife encourages drivers to slow down and drive safely. With vehicle speed being a major factor in crashes and loss of life, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Officers will be conducting high-visible speed enforcement to promote traffic safety on Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.
Kofa National Wildlife Refuge has constructed the Castle Dome Bypass Road around private inholdings on the refuge. The bypass road will open for public use on Labor Day weekend (August 31st), restoring southern access to the Castle Dome Mountain area which is popular for hiking, hunting, and other recreation. The road is for high clearance vehicles only. It is not suitable for RV's or trailers.
