Facility Activities

Guided public use is managed through a complex permitting program that includes air and water taxi services, sport fishing, big game hunting, and wildlife viewing. Unguided access is managed through public contacts and a force of Refuge Rangers who patrol more than 200 miles of rivers. In total, Togiak receives more than 20,000 visitor days per year.
