Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Grenada County, Mississippi.
Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area in Grenada County comprising flat land with cultivated fields, abandoned cropland, and hardwood bottomland forests intersected by Tippo Bayou. The terrain blends different landscape types that support varied wildlife habitats.
The refuge was established in 1990 after decades of clearing and drainage for cotton farming. Restoration of natural habitats followed this period of intensive agricultural use.
The refuge education programs teach visitors about local ecosystems through workshops and guided nature observations throughout the year.
The access roads are open to the public from mid-September through May 1, allowing wildlife viewing under favorable conditions. Visitors should expect varying conditions depending on the season and plan accordingly.
Seasonal floods in former oxbow bends and fields beside Tippo Bayou create temporary wetlands in the colder months. These transient water bodies attract substantial numbers of waterfowl seeking resting and feeding areas.
