Road construction at NSNWR

Beginning Monday, Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge’s paved entry road will be undergoing construction.

The road will be resurfaced and a four foot wide bike lane will be added to both sides of the road. Construction is expected to continue through the fall. When visiting, be aware of lane closures, detours and construction workers.

The Visitor Center will remain open throughout the construction. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. The trails and the auto tour route will continue to be open daily from dawn to dusk.
