Savannah National Wildlife Refuge

There are many fun and interesting things to do and see during your visit to Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, but it is our job to ensure the habitat that our wildlife calls "home" is protected. Below are some important regulations that help keep both visitors and wildlife safe.

• The refuge is open during daylight hours only; overnight use and/or camping (including campfires) are not permitted.
• Some areas may be closed seasonally to protect wildlife from human disturbance. Such areas are posted "Area Beyond This Sign Closed."
• Feeding, capturing, or harassing wildlife is strictly prohibited unless authorized by permit.
• Launching, landing, or disturbing of wildlife by aircraft (drones) on the refuge is prohibited.
• Dogs, cats, and other pets are not permitted on the refuge unless confined inside a vehicle.
• Picking or cutting vegetation is prohibited.
• All of the refuge's archaeological and natural resources are protected. Artifact hunting/collecting is not allowed.
• Automobiles must remain on the wildlife drive. Hikers and bicyclers are encouraged to stay on marked trails.
• The refuge, unless otherwise posted, is open to hiking, biking, wildlife observation, interpretation, environmental education, and photography. It is also open, in certain areas and times of the year, to hunting and fishing; review refuge hunting and fishing regulations for details.
