Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge

Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge spans 17,992 acres at the southern end of the Great Salt Lake Desert, protecting wetlands and natural springs.

The springs served as a resupplying post for the Pony Express, Central Overland Stage, and Lincoln Highway during the western expansion period.

The natural springs supported the Goshute tribe for over 11,000 years, providing essential resources in their nomadic lifestyle across the region.

Visitors can observe migratory birds, participate in waterfowl hunting, take wildlife photographs, and attend environmental education programs throughout the year.

The springs discharge 27,500 acre-feet of water annually, creating an isolated wetland system that supports diverse wildlife in the desert landscape.
