	Boating and fishing are allowed year-round in portions of the refuge. Quality of fishing ranges from poor to fair with largemouth bass and crappie being the most common species fished for. Fishing from shore is allowed on the refuge. Nearby public boat launches allow convenient access to the refuge. Portions of the refuge are open to hunting of white-tailed deer, feral hogs, and waterfowl each fall. Permits and special regulations apply; please contact refuge headquarters for specific information. The numerous miles of waterways and canals bisect the fresh water marsh, and a upland oak-cypress-gum ridge and provides an opportunity to view a wide array of both upland and wetland wildlife. Entrance to the refuge is through public boat launches Normal hours are 7 am to 4 pm, however, the headquarters may be closed while refuge personnel are working elsewhere. Visitors are encouraged to call ahead if they need assistance. None None
