War Horse National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Petroleum County, Montana.
The refuge encompasses three distinct units totaling 2,876 acres, including Ponderosa pine woodland, grassland savanna, and sagebrush plains near reservoirs.
Established in 1958, War Horse National Wildlife Refuge joined the National Wildlife Refuge System to protect migratory birds and native wildlife populations.
The refuge maintains important ecological research programs that monitor over 350 species of wildlife, contributing to Montana's conservation knowledge.
Visitors can access three separate units for hunting, wildlife photography, and bird observation, with the War Horse Unit located 14 miles northwest of Winnett.
The Yellow Water Reservoir within the refuge experiences substantial water level changes, creating dynamic habitats for rainbow trout and migratory waterfowl.
