Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Pend Oreille County, United States.
Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge spans 42,657 acres of mountainous mixed conifer forests, meadows, lakes, and rivers in Washington state.
The refuge was established in 1939 to protect diverse wildlife species and remains the only mountainous conifer forest refuge in the lower 48 states.
Visitors can explore an 11-mile auto tour featuring twelve interpretive stops that explain the area's history, early homesteaders, and railroad logging heritage.
The refuge maintains designated areas for camping, fishing, hiking, and wildlife observation, with specific regulations for each activity throughout the year.
The elevation ranges from 1,800 to 5,600 feet, supporting six forest zones including Douglas fir, grand fir, ponderosa pine, western red cedar, and subalpine fir.
