Observation tower
The Observation tower, adjacent to the refuge headquarters, provides a good overview of the lakes in the refuge and the surrounding terrain. From above the trees and tall reeds you can see the distinct lakes and ponds, as well as the sand hills around the borders. Birders often congregate in the Grouse Observation Blind, 2¼ miles east of the refuge headquarters, to take a good look at the resident bird species. The covered area is also good for watching other wildlife.
