Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Sweetwater County, US.

Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area along the Green River in southwestern Wyoming, combining river landscapes, forests, and open plains. The land offers different habitats that attract birds, mammals, and other animals, particularly during spring and fall migration periods.

The refuge was created in 1965 to offset wildlife habitat lost when Fontenelle Dam was built upstream and Flaming Gorge Dam downstream on the Green River. Long before that, Shoshone people lived in the region from about 1300, and from 1811 the area became a crossroads of the Oregon and Mormon Trails. Wagon ruts cut by pioneer wheels are still visible.

The name Seedskadee comes from the Shoshone word sisk-a-dee-agie, meaning "river of the prairie hen". The Shoshone have lived in this region since around 1300. Wagon ruts cut by Oregon and Mormon Trail pioneers in the 19th century are still visible on the refuge's uplands.

Visitors can explore on multiple trails for hiking, photography, and wildlife observation, with seasonal opportunities for fishing and hunting. Comfortable shoes and binoculars are helpful, and the best time to visit is spring and fall when many animals are traveling.
