The Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, located in northwestern Vermont, has the critical job of protecting and conserving a biologically diverse, internationally important, and archaeologically significant area. The Friends of Missisquoi NWR was established to support the Refuge’s efforts.
Who are the Friends?
The Friends are ordinary people who, like you, understand the value of the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge. They organized in 2002 into the non-profit Friends of Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, Inc. to give the refuge support in a variety of ways.
Accessing the Refuge
The Refuge offers five trails for walking, snowshoeing and cross-county skiing, and the Missisquoi River and Dead Creek provide calm waters for exploration.
Birding Missisquoi
The Missisquoi NWR was established specifically to provide habitat for migratory birds. More than 200 species have been documented on the Refuge, with thousands of migratory waterfowl stopping each year.
Eagle Point
Eagle Point Wildlife Management Area at Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge is a 458-acre tract of property on the shore of Lake Memphremagog near the town of Newport, Vermont. It became part of the Missisquoi NWR in 2010.
