Hewitt Lake National Wildlife Refuge

The 1,360-acre refuge features rolling mixed-grass prairie landscapes and a seasonal wetland supported by an earthen dam at its core.

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service established this refuge in 1938 as part of a broader initiative to protect essential wetland habitats.

The refuge functions as one of four satellite locations managed through Bowdoin National Wildlife Refuge, contributing to regional conservation education.

Visitors can participate in duck hunting during fall season, while bird watching remains accessible throughout spring and early summer months.

The lake naturally dries up by late summer each year, creating distinct seasonal environments that attract thousands of migratory birds.
