Fox River National Wildlife Refuge encompasses 1,004 acres. The refuge is located in Marquette County, Wisconsin, approximately 60 miles west of Horicon National Wildlife Refuge, and is managed by staff at Horicon.
The refuge is an important breeding and staging area for the greater sandhill crane. The refuge has 10 distinct plant communities ranging from upland coniferous and deciduous woodlands to five wetland communities. This plant diversity is responsible for the presence of about 160 different species of wildlife. Species diversity of this extent within a relatively small confined area is not found in many other parts of Wisconsin. The refuge is across the highway from a County Park named after John Muir, the famous conservationist, who grew up in the immediate area of Marquette County, Wisconsin.
Directions
From Portage, take Highway 33 east to County Highway F north; from Montello,take Highway 23 west to County Highway F south. Refuge is on west side of County Highway F, across from John Muir County Park.
