Tens of millions of people visit outdoor areas each year to photograph wildlife, and National Wildlife Refuges are at the top of the list. Chassahowitkza National Wildlife Refuge offers ample opportunities to photograph wildlife and scenic landscapes. From the Salt Marsh observation area, Lastinger Tower, visitors can watch herons, osprey, and other marsh-dwelling birds in their natural habitat. From a kayak or boat, you may see alligators basking or birds foraging along the shoreline.
