Wildlife Drive at Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge

Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge offers visitors a chance to explore one of Ohio's most important habitats for migratory birds and native wildlife. A wildlife drive typically lets families travel through the refuge at their own pace—whether by car, bike, or on foot—to observe waterfowl, wading birds, and other animals in their natural setting. It's a peaceful, educational outing perfect for nature lovers of all ages, with opportunities to spot seasonal species and learn about wetland ecosystems. Binoculars and a field guide can enhance the experience.
