The Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge located 3 miles (5 kilometers) east of Seymour, Indiana, on U.S. Route 50. Established in 1966, it comprises 7,802 acres (3,157 hectares) in its main area of eastern Jackson and western Jennings counties, and an additional 78 acres (32 ha) in northwestern Monroe County, near Bloomington, Indiana, known as the "Restle Unit". It was established thanks to the selling of Federal Migratory Waterfowl Stamps, commonly known as Duck Stamps, by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. It was Indiana's first National Wildlife Refuge. The name comes from the Muscatatuck River, which means "land of winding waters". Converted farm lands comprise 60% of the total land area of the refuge. Several archaeological sites in the refuge are on the National Register of Historic Places. Much of the tree cover is deciduous forest. A visitor center, eight hiking trails (ranging from 1⁄5 to 4 miles or 0.3 to 6 kilometers of easy to moderate hiking), a 4-mile (6-kilometer) driving tour, two pioneer cemeteries, and a log cabin of historical significance are available for the 125,000 annual visitors to the refuge to enjoy. The refuge is open for visitation from 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset. The refuge should not be confused with the former Muscatatuck State Park of Indiana, which became Muscatatuck County Park when control of the land was given back to Jennings County, Indiana. * Map of the property * Sign at the Visitor Center (en) |
