Clarks River National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in western Kentucky, United States.
The refuge encompasses bottomland hardwood forests, wetlands, and open fields along the Clarks River, supporting diverse ecosystems for numerous wildlife species.
Established in 1997 after extensive evaluations, this protected area became the 549th National Wildlife Refuge in the United States the following year.
The refuge name connects to Kentucky history through William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition or his brother George Rogers Clark.
Visitors can explore multiple trails with interpretive signs while engaging in activities such as wildlife observation, photography, hunting, and fishing.
Six waterfowl impoundments across 214 acres provide managed habitats for migratory birds traveling along the Mississippi Flyway.
