The first time I arrived, I had to check in, take a test and then be approved for a permit to go out to the refuge. After you leave the main road you have to drive north and check in with a guard and enter through a gate. It is then miles driving north to get to the area around the lakes to see birds or you can go fishing. It is a very peaceful and relaxing place as there are not many visitors. If you follow the signs you can not get lost."^^ .
