Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge is curently closed to All Public Access for Restoration.
The Steigerwald Reconnection Project has begun! To ensure the safety of our visitors and our crews, the Refuge's trails are closed to all public access at this time. This closure includes the Refuge's parking lot, restrooms, and access to both the Refuge's interior trails (currently) and the Columbia River Dike Trail (the levee trail) that parallels the Columbia River (as of July 6th, 2020).
The Refuge Trails and Dike Trail east of Captain William Clark Park, will be closed to all public access between July 6th and October of 2020. Please respect this closure while habitat and public use opportunities are enhanced.
