Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge

The refuge covers 6,105 acres of land where the Mojave and Sonoran deserts meet, creating diverse habitats along the Bill Williams River.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service established this conservation area in 1941, with a formal designation as Bill Williams River National Wildlife Refuge in 1993.

The Friends of Bill Williams River organization supports the refuge through educational programs, fundraising activities, and maintenance assistance throughout the year.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, observe 335 bird species, and participate in kayaking activities along the river system.

This protected area contains the largest remaining cottonwood-willow forest system along the lower Colorado River, supporting numerous native species.
