Tewaukon National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Sargent County, North Dakota, United States.
The 8,363-acre refuge contains wetlands and grasslands along the western edge of the northern tallgrass prairie, with the Wild Rice River flowing through Lake Tewaukon.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service established this refuge in 1945 to create a protected area for migratory birds within the Prairie Pothole Region.
The refuge functions as a research center where scientists study bird migration patterns and conduct wildlife surveys throughout different seasons of the year.
Visitors access the refuge through County Road 12, located 5 miles south of Cayuga, with opportunities for hiking, fishing, photography, and wildlife observation.
The refuge records 243 bird species within its boundaries, serving as a critical stopover point along the Central Flyway for thousands of migrating waterfowl.
