Grizzly Island provides habitat for more than 200 species of birds and is home to a variety of threatened or endangered wildlife and plants. Our trip will begin at the Refuge Headquarters and continue for about 7 ½ miles along Grizzly Island Road, which is unpaved and runs through the middle of the Wildlife Area.

Since this trip will involve a car caravan through the wildlife preserve, with limited roadside parking pulloffs, we need to limit the size of our group to no more than 5 vehicles. Accordingly, carpooling to the preserve is encouraged. In the event we arrive at the meeting point with more than 5 vehicles we will need to share cars from that point. There is parking available at the meeting point.

Some things you may need for our outing at Grizzly Island: binoculars, drinking water, sun block, insect repellent, warm jacket, and appropriate footwear. Also, bring lunch and drinks.
