Ouray National Wildlife Refuge, Nature reserve along Green River in Uintah County, Utah.
The 11,987-acre wildlife refuge spans 12 miles along the Green River, featuring wetlands, grasslands, and clay bluffs inhabited by numerous bird species.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service established this refuge in 1960, incorporating 3,800 acres leased from the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation.
The refuge enables visitors to observe native wildlife through designated viewing areas, walking paths, and an auto tour route across different habitats.
Visitors can participate in seasonal hunting of waterfowl, deer, elk, and turkeys, while fishing opportunities include catching channel catfish from an accessible pier.
The Ouray National Fish Hatchery within the refuge breeds endangered fish species including razorback suckers, humpback chubs, and Colorado pikeminnows.
