Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Nature reserve in northern California, US
The wildlife refuge spans 39,116 acres of wetlands, marshes, and agricultural lands in the Tule Lake basin near the Oregon border.
President Calvin Coolidge established this protected area in 1928 to maintain essential habitats for numerous bird species along the Pacific Flyway corridor.
Local farmers cultivate 19,000 acres within the refuge, growing potatoes, onions, horseradish, alfalfa, and cereals while maintaining wildlife conservation practices.
The refuge visitor center operates Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering exhibits, maps, and guidance for wildlife observation activities.
The Walking Wetlands program rotates farmland into temporary wetlands every two years, supporting both agricultural production and natural habitat restoration.
