    Anhingas (pictured), egrets, herons, geese and several other species of waterfowl are commonly seen throughout the refuge, but normally along the canals where water tends to be more shallow and wading is less of a problem. Unlike the birds in the Everglades however, the larger birds here are more skittish around human traffic and will often not allow one to approach within 50 yards without taking wing.

    Most of the refuge is under a few feet of standing water near sea level. Canals and bayous radiate away from the lowlying "lake" and there one will be able to approach the wildlife with the least trouble. Watch your footing at all times. Soil might be so saturated that your step might plunge abruptly, and as always be careful when approaching taller grasses. . .these are the preferred hideaways for the refuge's alligators.

    Either take a boat, or limit yourself to the trail

    The best way to visit the refuge is by boat. The area highway offers several areas where boats can cast off, provided the user adhere to the refuge regulations. For those who wish to visit on foot, there are a few short trails along LA-27 for this purpose. The Blue Goose Trail and the Marsh Trail are the best-known examples. If you visit in the sunnier months, expect wilting temperatures and few sunshades along your route. This is after all southern Louisiana.
