Update on Wildlife Drive Closure

The staff at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge have closed sections of the Wildlife Drive and associated facilities for replacement of the bulkhead separating a freshwater impoundment and dike from the Little Blackwater River. The Blackwater Refuge staff are working to allow visitors to access as much of the Drive as possible while the work continues. For the latest information about what part of the Drive is accessible, please read this press release (PDF 9KB) from October 30, 2008.
