Fish and Wildlife Service, Georgia.
Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge, which also includes Egg Island and Little Egg Island, is located at the mouth of the Altamaha River on the Georgia coast. The refuge consists of a long narrow strip of oceanfront beach backed by a broad band of salt marsh which makes up over 75% of the refuge's total acreage. The entire refuge was designated a National Wilderness Area in 1975 and provides critical sanctuary for migrating birds and nursery habitat for sea turtles. Though the refuge's surrounding saltwater is open to recreational activities like boating and fishing, the beach, marsh, and all other upland areas are closed to the public.
Wolf Island NWR is a barrier island and is only accessible by boat. Only the saltwater surrounding the refuge is open for activities such as wildlife observation and fishing. All refuge uplands, marshes, and beaches are closed to all public use.
