Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge, Wildlife refuge in Pike County, Missouri.
Clarence Cannon National Wildlife Refuge is a protected area on the Mississippi River floodplain, featuring open water, wet grasslands, and forested areas. The land is actively managed to maintain diverse habitats for the wildlife that lives there.
The refuge was established in 1964 by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service as a protected natural area. It was named after Congressman Clarence Cannon, who advocated for wetland protection in Missouri.
Hundreds of bird species use the refuge for breeding, resting, and feeding throughout the year. The changing seasons bring different flocks, making each visit offer fresh sightings for observers.
Access the refuge from Missouri State Highway 79 towards Annada, then head east on the county road that leads to the entrance. The best visiting season is during spring and fall migration periods when bird populations are highest.
The refuge operates a specialized hunting program designed for people with mobility and vision disabilities. This October program allows these visitors to participate in hunting using adapted methods and support.
