Noxubee Refuge

Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge

Sam D Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge sign

A 48,000-acre resting and feeding area for migratory birds, the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge is a 20-minute drive south of Starkville.

Alligators, white-tailed deer, bald eagles, and more than 250 species of birds, including red-cockaded woodpeckers and a variety of waterfowl, are among the many wildlife species present. An entrance fee is required.

The Refuge office visible from across the lake

With several trails, two lakes, overlooks and boardwalks, and a visitor’s center, the Refuge provides extensive opportunities for

  • bird watching
  • hiking
  • hunting
  • fishing
  • wildlife viewing

Whether you plan to spend the day hiking, biking, “birding”, or picnicking — the Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge is a fun place to spend a morning or afternoon!
