Driving through Eufaula, Alabama
Eufaula is the largest city in Barbour County, Alabama, United States.
In 1963, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers created Walter F. George Lake (unofficially named Lake Eufaula) behind the lock and dam of Fort Gaines, Georgia, once again assuring Eufaula's importance as an inland port.
In the early 1960s, the United States Coast Guard set up an Aids to Navigation Team in Eufaula that is still active today servicing from Columbus, Georgia, to Apalachicola, Florida, and the Flint River.
In 1964, the Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge was established along Lake Walter F. George to serve and protect many endangered and threatened species such as the American bald eagle, the American alligator, the wood stork and the peregrine falcon. The refuge is a major tourist attraction for visitors from around the country.
On March 3, 2019, a tornado hit the city as part of a larger tornado outbreak.
America's Wildest Places - Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge, Alabama
The Eufaula National Wildlife Refuge is located on both banks of the Chattahoochee River in south-east Alabama and south-west Georgia. Named after the city of Eufaula, the refuge offers a variety of wetland and upland habitats for diverse fauna. A prominent feature of the abundant wetlands is Lake Eufaula (Walter F. George Reservoir) and several feeder streams.
The Eufaula NWR is home to a large variety of birds, mammals, reptiles and insects. Habitats range from lake to shallow shores, from creeks to wetlands, from open fields to shaded woodlands. In addition to the many species which call the refuge home year round, many more use the refuge as a migratory destination or stop over during the fall, winter and spring.
The refuge's primary purpose is to provide habitat for wintering waterfowl, other migratory birds and resident species; to provide habitat and protection for endangered or threatened species; and to provide wildlife oriented recreational opportunities for the public.
Waterfowl can be seen most easily November through February. Visitors are directed to the Upland Waterfowl Viewing Platform overlooking the Upland Impoundment. It is a covered, open-air pavilion, and the impoundment is a shallow water area managed specifically as a waterfowl resting and feeding area.
To see wading and water-birds, visitors are directed to one of four impoundments, three of which have active nesting colonies of several species.
In the spring, breeding herons and egrets can be seen on Bird Island visible from the Wildlife Drive. The island is off limits to visitors.
Migratory songbirds can best be seen on walks into wooded areas around the wildlife drive or other areas. Many other wildlife species such as alligators, hawks, and deer can be seen along the 7-mile wildlife drive.
TRAVEL & TOURISM
In general, the refuge is open to visitors during daylight hours, seven days a week. Brochures are available at the leaflet racks located at the entrance to the wildlife drive, at the headquarters, and at the entrance of the Kennedy and Bradley units. There is a 7-mile auto route, two viewing towers, and a walking trail.
The best time to observe most wildlife is the early morning or late afternoon hours. Some species can be observed during mid-day.
Refuge tours are provided for organized scout, school, and church groups or other organizations. Off-refuge programs are provided to civic groups, school classes, or any other organization when staff/volunteers are available.
Only licensed vehicles are permitted. Access is limited to gravel roads; some roads are closed seasonally. ATVs are prohibited. Horseback riding is permitted on gravel roads only. Riders are cautioned to watch for vehicles. Non-motorized bikes are permitted on gravel roads only. Hunters, fishermen and wildlife observers are encouraged to use bicycles to access remote areas.
