Colusa National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Colusa County, United States
The Colusa National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 5,077 acres of wetlands, grasslands, and riparian habitats in northern California's Sacramento Valley.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established this refuge in 1945 as part of a network of protected areas in the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
The refuge serves as an educational center where visitors can learn about wetland ecosystems and observe natural wildlife behaviors in their native environment.
Visitors can access the refuge's auto tour route, observation deck, photography blind, and hiking trails from September through March when wildlife populations reach their peak.
The wetlands support over 150,000 ducks and 60,000 geese during winter months, making it a central location for waterfowl migration in California.
