The 11,586-acre Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge is home to many different kinds of wildlife including white-tailed deer, beaver and prairie chickens.
It is also home to numerous migrating birds such as mallard, blue-winged teal, scaup, yellowlegs and bald eagles.
The low-lying woodlands, wetlands and native tallgrass prairie offer the visitor a place where nature's colors are at their most vibrant.
Fishing is a popular activity at the refuge. Some of the most popular places to fish are along reservoir levees and at spillways located within them. Fishing from the banks of the Minnesota and Yellowbank Rivers is also often very productive for anglers.
Migratory bird hunting is not permitted. However, the refuge offers public hunting opportunities for gray partridge, cottontail rabbit, jack rabbit, gray and fox squirrel, pheasant, turkey, and deer. Contact the refuge for information.
