I have been numerous times. I just enjoy driving slow and looking at the birds. I did see an Eagle the last time I was there which was cool. Check out the welcome center as you enter the property.

We've enjoyed many events over the past 20 years solo, as a couple, as a family with young children, as a family with teens, and with friends. There are many things to do all year long such as the Log Cabin Days event, the Nature Center video and shop (where the bathrooms are located), the many varied walking trails, the children's duck stamp contest, birdwatching, volunteer opportunities, bike riding, raptor shows, educational talks and bird watching and identification. The whole refuge is well maintained and peaceful. One can enjoy and hour there or lose oneself for a day.

We really enjoyed the drive and plan to return early in the morning to see more birds! One word of warning...avoid tall grass. We found a tick in the car and then later found one on our clothing. We enjoyed seeing many varieties of birds and butterflies as well as turtles and toads. Be sure to bring bug spray and a camera!

Stop by the visitor’s center first, the volunteers are very knowledgeable and you can borrow a pair of binoculars at the front desk (they hold your credit card as security). There is also an inside bird viewing area where you can watch birds come to feed and listen to their songs. The center has a great store with a very wide selection of bird and naturalist books – the kids’ section is amazing. The refuge has many nature trails that take you to the lakes and the birds. Trails’ length ranges from very short up to one mile. Or you can just drive very slowly down the roads and pull over to view the birds. I visited in winter when everything was brown and grey and it was still a beautiful, serene place to visit. It was thrilling to see an otter swimming by at Hunt Lake. As you can tell, I Loved the Muscatatuck Refuge and am so grateful there are still places where birds and animals can live peacefully (and where we can so easily visit!).

I grew up in this area and if you love the outdoors and nature, you'll love this place. I have seen otters, deer, turkey squirrels, birds and other animals. You can hike, fish, walk and explore. There's an old time log cabin that you can visit. There's the visitor's center at the beginning of the refuge. Please stop in and see what all you can do in the refuge. The employees are very friendly and helpful. My husband and I always visit the refuge when we are back in the area visiting family.

This was a great stop off the interstate to take a quick hike. The visitors center has a nice educational exhibit perfect for all ages with interactive exhibits and a bird viewing area with one-way windows. We saw several varieties of birds at the feeders. We followed this by two short hikes on different trails which were well marked and dry. It was a great place to stretch our legs and there were clean restrooms. And, it was all free.

It's free and the bird watching area is wonderful. The trails are nice and they even have a wheelchair trail. Very clean and nice for groups.

My boyfriend and I go to the refuge several times a year. He is a photographer. The caretakers of the refuge take really good care of it. It is amazing to see all the wonderful creatures God has brought into the refuge. You always see something new. We sat for a long time a couple of weeks ago and watched 6 Otters. He obtained some wonderful pictures of them eating turtles! This a great place for any age. You can take a slow drive, hike, or just sit. Either way, it is an amazing place to go. Very quiet and peeaceful

Be sure to visit Muscatatuck. Your first stop should be the visitor center. It's the first building on your right after you enter. They're open daily 12:30 to 4pm. The people are friendly and informative. Make sure you see the film! It's very good. After that you have a variety of activities from which to chose including hiking, hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing or photography. The best idea is to check their website or call them and ask about upcoming events and programs. Visit your National Wildlife Refuge. You're gonna love it!
