Being Safe While Visiting Wildlife Refuges

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is are proud to provide opportunities for safe, enjoyable outdoor experiences at many of our national wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries during the coronavirus pandemic.

While outdoor sites remain open at Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge during the current coronavirus pandemic, we urge visitors to follow CDC guidelines.

Maintain adequate social distancing, avoid overcrowding and exercise good hygiene.

If a parking lot is full when you visit, please do not stop.

We understand that the outdoors can help relieve stress, but these guidelines must be followed for our public health and safety.

For now, the refuge visitor center, restrooms, headquarters campground and other public facilities are closed and scheduled events have been postponed.

For more information please visit our webpage, FWS Coronavirus Response.

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.

We are both a leader and trusted partner in fish and wildlife conservation, known for our scientific excellence, stewardship of lands and natural resources, dedicated professionals and commitment to public service.
