Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge on Columbia River, United States.
The refuge spans 23,783 acres across Oregon and Washington states, featuring open waters, marshes, wetlands, cropland, islands, and shrub-steppe upland habitats.
The United States Fish and Wildlife Service established the refuge in 1969 to compensate for habitat losses caused by the John Day Dam construction.
The refuge functions as an educational center where visitors learn about wildlife conservation through observation programs and guided nature activities.
The refuge maintains operating hours from sunrise to sunset, with specific schedules for hunting activities and seasonal closures of islands.
The location within the Pacific Flyway creates essential winter habitat for Arctic nesting geese and numerous waterfowl species.
