This place is impressive! The visitors center is by far one of the best facilities I have ever seen. I am glad that I checked it out because the exhibits are really cool. In terms of hiking, the refuge offers about 10 miles of hiking trails that allow you to explore different regions. They also have several observation decks that offer perfect opportunities to take really good photographs as well. Definitely prepare for the weather as the refuge is in very close proximity to Lake Erie. If you live near or are traveling through the area, this place is definitely worth a visit.

We didn't get here until after the visitor center closed and the auto tour route was closed so we didn't get to see as much as I would have liked. We walked around the boardwalk behind the visitor center and drove up the road along the pools. This is where we saw the most birds. There was a trail at the end of the parking area, but we didn't have time/daylight to take a hike. Finally, we drove back to the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area, parked at the old beach and took a short hike to the beach. On the way back to the car I noticed a boardwalk. It looked like a loop, probably should have taken time to walk along that, but didn't know how long it was until we drove past the other end. Most of what we saw was egrets & herons. We will have to come back to see some others. They do have a nice events list and we missed an eagle tour earlier in the day. I would have loved to see that. I would recommend checking out the events calendar on their website and getting there before 4pm to take the auto tour and go to visitor center.

I found the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge by accident as I was passing through the area on my way somewhere else. The visitor's center was educational, informative, and very impressive. I walked all through the grounds and very much enjoyed the pools and bird friendly landscaping. I saw and heard all kinds of things I need to learn about. I plan on returning during the busy seasons when the migratory birds are passing through. This is a must experience if you are into wildlife and birds.

Great marshes to walk for hours observing birds. Beautiful visitor center. This is not a place for those who wish to drive to see nature.

It was such a pretty day. The water at the beach was wavy. Relaxing on the beach with our toes in the water gave us a peaceful feeling.

I took my daughter (in her stroller) to the Refuge and had a great time. If you are looking for long trails this is the place. Beautiful views and not many people. It had rained a day or two before we went and I didn't have any trouble getting her stroller around. There is plenty of parking and it is extremely clean. The visitors center is also very nice and there are plenty of restrooms. Will be making this a regular place for walks!

This National Refuge is one of the most impressive places to visit in North Western Ohio. With it's walking trails you will see local wildlife like no other place in our area. The visitors facilities are unmatched and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This natural bird sanctuary provides vital nesting grounds for migratory birds from around the world.

This place is set up very nicely. It even has a drive thru nature observatory. Plenty of trails plenty of Birds close to the lake. I think I prefer this above the marsh now.

The Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge offers great birding opportunities on the Western Shore of Lake Erie. Gorgeous visitors center staffed by rangers and volunteers, all of whom are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Try to visit on one of the weekends that include self-driving tours of the back roads through the refuge, which are normally closed to the public.

Love love love it here!!! many great memories growing up coming up to the lake and every weekend we came here rather to admire the sights but always heading to the beach for seashells. And looking at all the birds that migrate through and make stop.
