America's Wildest Places - Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge, Mississippi
Noxubee Wildlife Refuge in east-central Mississippi was established in 1940 and serves as a resting and feeding area for migratory birds and resident wildlife including blue herons, white-tailed deer, alligators, egrets, ibis, beaver, and the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker. The refuge contains wetlands, cypress groves, prairie grasslands, and forests.
Approximately 42,500 acres of the refuge are comprised of bottomland and upland woodlands.
Goose Overlook
This thirty-foot high observation platform overlooks Dickerson Arm of Bluff Lake and is a favorite wildlife viewing area for many people. During the fall, as many as 400 Canada geese, and up to 70 white-tailed deer can be seen at one glance in the fields and lake from this location. The platform is accessed by a level, handicap accessible, 150-foot walk. This site is open year-round, daylight hours only.
Morgan Hill Overlook
This observation platform sits atop Morgan Hill and provides perhaps one of the best vistas on the Refuge. From the platform, visitors will be greeted by a panoramic view of 600-acre Loakfoma Lake. Winter guests delight in the antics of the bald eagles which find this area favorable. The platform is handicap accessible and is accessed via an interpretative trail which winds through the Prairie Demonstration Project. This site is open year-round, daylight hours only.
Bluff Lake Boardwalk
This1000-foot long boardwalk takes the visitor onto an otherwise inaccessible cypress island. The walk is pleasantly shaded in summer and sheltered from wind during winter. The roofed overlook at the end of the boardwalk views the cattle egret rookery in summer and sports a beautiful view of Bluff Lake year-round. A great spot for viewing eagles and other waterbirds!
Cypress Cove Recreational Boardwalk
This winding boardwalk is located on Bluff Lake at Doyle Arm. A little over 500 feet in length this boardwalk allows access to Bluff Lake for fishing, sightseeing, birdwatching, or just a different view. It takes the visitor into a cypress grove on the edge of Bluff Lake and into the domain of the alligators and water dwelling creatures. In warm weather the floating cypress logs offer sunning spots for turtles. Wading birds, waterfowl, bald eagles, and a large winter rookery of cormorants are often seen from this vantage point. This boardwalk is wheelchair accessible.
TRAVEL & TOURISM
There are seven walking trails varying in length from 1/4-mile to more than four miles, three overlooks, boardwalks, a picnic area and visitor center with exhibit hall and overlook. Depending on the time of year, there is hunting and fishing too. There are numerous places for great photography, wildlife observation and for wild-flower observation.
During summer months visitors have the best chance to see alligators. The lakes are low and the alligators are plentiful. The most regular place to see alligators is off Alligator Point, just east of the Bluff Lake Boardwalk.
