Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Milford, Maine, United States.
The refuge contains the second largest peatland in Maine with raised bogs, meadows, cedar swamps, and floodplain forests across 11,435 acres.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund enabled the establishment of Sunkhaze Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in 1988 to protect wetland and forest resources.
The Friends of Sunkhaze Meadows organization supports environmental education initiatives and maintains three public trails throughout the protected area.
Visitors can access the refuge through Carter Meadow Trail, Oak Point Trail, and Johnson Brook Trail, with year-round parking available on County Road.
The wetland system provides essential habitat for twelve Maine-listed endangered species, including three plants, seven birds, and multiple invertebrates.
