Leslie Canyon National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Cochise County, Arizona, United States.
Leslie Canyon National Wildlife Refuge spans 2,765 acres of diverse terrain with mountain ranges separated by flat basins in southeastern Arizona.
The refuge was established in 1988 to safeguard the endangered Yaqui chub and Yaqui topminnow fish species within the Rio Yaqui watershed.
The San Bernardino Valley transformation from flowing creeks and wetlands to current landscapes reflects the agricultural development of the American Southwest.
Visitors can access the refuge through the headquarters located 12 miles north of Douglas on Highway 191 without paying entrance fees.
The refuge contains a specialized forest ecosystem with velvet ash, black walnut, and cottonwood trees along Leslie Creek providing shelter for migrating birds.
