Sam D. Hamilton Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge

While the trails at the refuge are closed to bicycles, you can ride down any of the many roads to view wildlife, get away from it all, and just enjoy the ride. From pine stands to open prairies and lakes, there is a lot to see as you bike on the Refuge.

The refuge encompasses 48,00 acres and allows hunting, fishing, birding, hiking, and more. There are picnic tables set up alongside Bluff Lake – so pack a picnic and take a ride!
