Johnson Lake National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Eddy County, North Dakota.
Johnson Lake National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 2,002 acres of protected land containing diverse habitats for migratory birds and native wildlife species.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt established this refuge through Executive Order 8122 on May 10, 1939 to create breeding grounds for migratory birds.
The refuge operates under a conservation easement system where private landowners maintain ownership while contributing to national wildlife protection efforts.
While the refuge remains under private ownership, visitors can observe wildlife from nearby public roads that provide views of the lake and surrounding areas.
The refuge falls under the Devils Lake Wetland Management District jurisdiction and serves as a critical stopover for Canada geese, snow geese, and tundra swans.
