Ankeny National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge near Salem, United States.

The refuge spans wetlands and grasslands near the confluence of the Santiam and Willamette rivers, providing habitats for numerous waterfowl species.

Established in 1965, this refuge began with the objective of creating winter habitats for dusky Canada geese and other migratory waterfowl.

Educational programs at the Ankeny Hill Nature Center introduce visitors to local wildlife through interpretive trails, classrooms, and guided experiences.

Visitors can access the refuge daily from dawn to dusk through entrances on Ankeny Hill Road, Buena Vista Road, and Wintel Road.

The refuge maintains grass seed fields through farming partnerships to provide food for wintering Canada geese while reducing crop damage in surrounding areas.
