Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge

The Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge spans 26 square kilometers of wooded wetlands, pine forests, and oxbow lakes along the Ocmulgee River floodplain.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service established this protected area in 1989 to maintain the natural ecosystem of the Ocmulgee River region.

The refuge serves as an educational center where visitors learn about local wildlife conservation and the importance of wetland preservation in Georgia.

Visitors need permits for hunting and fishing activities, which can be obtained through the official U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website.

The protected area houses nesting bald eagles, black bears, and alligators within its diverse ecosystem of hardwood forests and swamps.
