  This is a great place to visit to bird watch, look for deer, and fish. You can also learn some history about the the steamboat Bertrand. In the visitors center, is a bunch of information about the wildlife in the area and items recovered from the sunken steamboat. There are giant windows that look out over the water.

  We come here every time we're in the area. It's beautiful and serene. The amount of wildlife here is incredible and the visitor center is amazing. The Bertrand exhibit is especially amazing looking back to the Civil War.

  Beautiful area for a nature walk and see some great wildlife..lots of different kinds of birds. We also visited the visitor center and the kids learned about the Steamboat Bertrand that sank and saw many artifacts retrieved.

  We love DeSoto! As it warms up this is a great place to walk the trails, spot the wildlife and soak up the feeling of nature. Great way to get some energy out of the kiddo on the weekend too. Can’t wait to spend some summer days here.

  Bevy of Birds! We visited the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge to see the migratory flocks of birds—we were not disappointed! We arrived around 9:30am-ish and still had to wait in a long line of cars to get to the pay station for entry (very inexpensive, just a few dollars). Parking around the Visitor’s Center was packed but not impossible, even when very busy; we parked on the side of the rode and walked to the center. The trails around the Visitor’s Center were all roped off to avoid disturbing the flocks. No worries, the Visitor’s Center is fantastic and well worth your visit. The Visitor’s Center has great viewing windows, great exhibits, helpful staff, and bathrooms. On our visit, the Visitor’s Center was pretty crowded, but we still found lots of space to observe the birds (and fellow visitors were universally friendly). We also drove around the lake and found parking to hike the very short Cottonwood Trail (less than a mile, very gentle, wide trail with only a little ice), which gave us a long distance but uncrowded view of the activities from multiple points along the lake. We also saw two eagles from this trail. Overall, the sights of these birds was well worth the time and very small expense—highly recommended!
