Harris Neck National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in McIntosh County, Georgia, United States.
The refuge spans 2,762 acres of saltwater marsh, grassland, mixed deciduous woods, and cropland on a former military airfield site.
The land belonged to William Thomas Harris in the mid-18th century and later served as a World War II Army airfield before becoming a wildlife refuge in 1962.
The refuge forms part of the Colonial Coast Birding Trail, connecting 18 sites across Georgia for nature observation and environmental education.
Visitors can explore over 15 miles of paved roads and trails that provide access to various habitats from 6:00 am to 7:00 pm without entrance fees.
The refuge hosts Georgia's largest wood stork colony and serves as an inland base for neighboring Blackbeard Island and Wolf Island refuges.
