The Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1965 to primarily provide a vital habitat for wintering waterfowl and is now a sanctuary of sorts. A visit to the refuge can be both, on foot and by a vehicle. The 'Drive the Auto Tour Route' is a 4.2 mile loop through parts of the refuge, while the 'Kiwa Trail' is a 1.2 mile foot trail that's also wheelchair accessible; the CAR unit is open year round. There's also an 'observation blind'(a camouflaged lookout) to view wildlife and bird life, and cameras and binoculars are allowed. In specific seasons waterfowl hunting and fishing is also permitted.

disabled access.
