Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge

Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge, located in Ellsworth, Nebraska, is a part of the Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge Complex and is administered by the U.S. Fish Wildlife Service. Established in 1931, the refuge is home to 21 wetland complexes, comprising approximately 18 percent of its total acreage, which provide habitats for a diverse range of plant and animal species. With its unique geology and abundant wildlife, Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge offers visitors numerous recreational opportunities, including boating, hunting, fishing, and wildlife viewing.

The Nebraska Sandhills, where the refuge is situated, is one of the largest systems of sand dunes in the Western Hemisphere. The pristine native prairie areas of the Sandhills have remained largely untouched, allowing for the preservation of the plant and animal species that have existed there for centuries. With its commitment to conservation and responsible management of its resources, Crescent Lake National Wildlife Refuge provides a sanctuary for migratory birds and other wild animals, while also offering a place for visitors to appreciate and enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
