Please Don't Use Rideshare Services to Visit the Refuge

The Savannah NWR Visitor Center is a 3-mile drive on two highways from the Laurel Hill Wildlife Drive.  If you get dropped off at the Visitor Center, you will have no transportation to get you to the wildlife drive which is our main wildlife viewing area. Cell service is terrible in this area as well so it may be impossible for you to contact the service to get a ride back.
