Reviews of Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge Admin Building And Visitor Contact Station (Tourist Attraction)

Craig Cota

Good trails and a lot of wildlife

Nicole Lahouidak

Such a peaceful place.

The refuge is nice. The one star is for the fact that the rangers and employees use the refuge as their own personal off leash dog park while everyone else gets a ticket if their dogs are off leash. For the record my dogs are on leash on the refuge, so this isn't sour grapes due to getting a ticket. I just don't appreciate the double standard here. I don't like walking into HQ to be barked at by four big dogs kept behind the counter either. I think this is really an unprofessional way to manage public lands. EDITED AS REPLY TO BELOW: I said I didn't get a ticket. I also said that the rangers' dogs were OFF LEASH all around the HQ office (four of them running around when I was there) and make a ruckus inside the office as well. Anyone who DOES get a ticket is well within their rights to protest it since the rangers don't even bother to follow the rules. After I got swarmed by the rangers' off leash dogs just a few seconds after I walked away from my truck, a ranger came out to yell at me about having my dogs off leash which was nuts because my dogs were still in the car. I told him the off leash dogs were refuge employees' dogs, not mine, and he said "well it's OK for them to be off leash around the HQ building. But if YOU go on the trails your dogs have to be leashed." What the what?

I am a local and this refuge is so important to me and my family because we love to hunt and fish and support Wildlife.

Great place for a long walk.

This is probably the best place too visit with either just by yourself, so you can get some peace and quiet and unwind after a long stressful day. Watching the wildlife and people fishing while you are letting your stress slip away from your thoughts. Next time you are having a bad day, Drive down to the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Quite and wonderful

Slipshod Prodigy

A fantastic population of Cedar Waxwings fill the air around the observation decks. Quiet and secluded. You are called to stillness and are absorbed into the nature around you.

Foe Hammer

Fun little park well worth the stop.

Rick Valenta

This is a great place to spend the afternoon with the family or significant other. There are a few miles of walking trails, some on cool elevated walkways through the wetland areas. Lots of wildlife to be spotted, both plant and animal, with interesting placards to read along the way. I highly recommend it and will be returning here soon for another hike.

Adam Safford

Great for going on walks. Nice trails

danny kissell

Absolutely beautiful place to walk with ur loved ones, it's lifted bridges and walkways at the building one at the beginning of the road. The trail goes thru the woods. Pretty cool cuz it goes thru a swamp lifted :)

perry booth

Beautiful

Chris Gillham

Beautiful Center warrants better funding by the Feds so the facility can reach its potential.

Karen Fortin

You can never go wrong taking an early morning paddle in the refuge. A national treasure

Julissa Verduzco

AWESOME PLACE FOR A VACATION OR A TRIP WITH YOUR FAMILY

Walt Mlynko

Has a nice visitor center and access to the swampy areas where interesting birds are likely to be found.

Peter Sorrell

We go fishing from the boat launch area all the time. It's a beautiful place to relax and enjoy nature. The facilities here are usually clean and easily accessible. If you're looking to get away from it all and enjoy the outdoors for a little bit, come here for a nice walk or some good fishing in the Mississquoi River!

I brought my kids for a special bird watching for National Migratory Bird Day. Granted, NONE of us are bird watching enthusiasts. We like birds, we THINK birds like us, we love the outdoors, it seemed like a fun event. Thankfully, the staff at the refuge set it up so that novices like us could also enjoy a day of bird watching while learning how to bird watch. Spare binoculars were provided. The refuge is acres upon acres of wild land that's crisscrossed with many well cared for trails. Some skirt the wetlands nearby as well so you get to see a very diverse amount of wildlife in natural habitat. The facility is like a mini-museum and has an information desk that's continually staffed. Very helpful and knowledgeable folks here so don't be afraid to ask questions! I'd like to see the facility expand more and build a full-fledged nature museum and learning center. It's close but not quite where I think it deserves to be. If you love the outdoors, birds, nature all that jazz..make a stop in on a nice sunny day. You likely won't be disappointed. Chirp chirp!

Laurette Garrand

Love driving through this refuge seeing herons, perigrine falcons and eagles. Also the occasional rainbow.

Abi E

Beautiful, but make sure you have plenty of bug spray! We ran into swarms of Mosquitoes, which is not that surprising considering that it's a marsh.

William Drake

Great place to go for a walk with the kids and dogs. Plenty of wildlife to see.

Norman Collins

This place is undisturbed & well kept. A place to go boating near a Bird Sanctuary. Great place to bring your family for a picnic or cookout. You also can go fishing here too. They have plenty of parking & portable bathrooms.

Mick Shea

Wonderful hiking trail along a river. The boardwalk kept us out of the mud and water, unfortunately the parts that weren't boardwalked were under water deeper than our shoes. The paddling from Louie's was great fun!

Christine Ackerknecht

Very wet except the road. Trail is closed at Mac's Bend till July 31, nesting area

Kate Kinney

Beautiful peaceful and quiet. Please do not bring noise or trash to this beautiful place.

The Visitor Center has informative display, and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It has an exhibition of paintings of water fowls by local school children. The restroom is very clean. The trails are well maintained with board walks over the swamps.
