Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge along Missouri River, United States
The Big Muddy National Fish and Wildlife Refuge spans 16,700 acres across multiple units between Kansas City and St. Louis along the Missouri River.
The Missouri River documented by Lewis and Clark in the early 1800s featured broad, shallow channels with extensive floodplain forests and wet prairies.
The refuge maintains educational resources about local ecosystems and provides observation areas where visitors can learn about Missouri River wildlife throughout seasons.
Visitors can access multiple units for activities including hiking, hunting, fishing, and birdwatching, with specific regulations varying across different locations.
The refuge actively restores natural floodplain conditions by creating side channels and removing levees to reestablish connections between the river and surrounding lands.
