Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge
Fish and Wildlife Service, Indiana.
Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1966 as a refuge to provide feeding and resting areas for migratory birds. The refuge includes 7,724 acres near Seymour, Indiana and the Restle Unit, a 78-acre donated parcel near Bloomington, Indiana. This south-central Indiana refuge is a flat to gently rolling mix of bottomland and upland forest, wetland, brushland and grassland habitat. The refuge has been designated as a Continentally Important Bird Area and was a hunting and fishing area for many Native American tribes before European settlement.
