THIEF RIVER FALLS -- Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge in Marshall County has opened its four-mile Lost Bay Habitat Drive for the season. The route offers interpretive signage, including three sound stations where visitors can listen to pre-recorded narration about the refuge's wildlife, habitat and management activities by tuning their car radios to 1610 AM.
The refuge also offers three hiking trails.
Agassiz refuge headquarters is located on Marshall County Highway 7, 11 miles east of Holt and 16 miles west of Grygla, Minn. Between now and mid-June, the bridge on County Highway 7, four miles west of headquarters, is being replaced. During this time, the most direct route to the refuge from Thief River Falls is to turn north on Pennington County Highway 20, which is three miles east of Thief River Falls off state Highway 1. Nine miles north, turn right onto County Road 120 and follow the road three miles north and east to 190th Avenue Northeast. Follow that road two miles north to Highway 7 and proceed east for four miles to refuge headquarters.
For more information, contact the refuge at (218) 449-4115.
