Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Pend Oreille County, United States.

Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area with mixed conifer forests, meadows, lakes, and rivers in the mountains of Washington state. The landscape includes several forest types and water habitats, each supporting different plants and animals.

The refuge was established in 1939 to protect the area's diverse wildlife. It has served as an important sanctuary for species in a mountainous forest setting that is uncommon elsewhere in the region.

The refuge lies east of Colville on the west slope of the Selkirk Mountains, mostly in Stevens County with a small part in Pend Oreille County. Visitors can hunt, fish, hike, camp and ride horses there, and watch songbirds, bald eagles, elk, black bears, wolves, cougars, moose, beavers and white-tailed deer.

Visitors can hike, fish, camp, and watch wildlife along various routes, with certain areas set aside for specific activities. Rules change by season, so checking conditions before your visit helps you plan better.

Within the refuge are six different forest types that change with elevation, each hosting different tree and animal species. This variety exists because different conditions at different heights support different life.
