We regret to announce that this year's Cranes & Cocoa Event is canceled. But, we want you to know that the cranes are back. We counted nearly 10,000 on the refuge just this morning!

The Tour Loop is open Dawn to Dusk. The Visitor's Center and public restrooms are closed thru the shutdown. The best crane viewing in the late afternoon would be the pullout for the "Dragonfly Trail" or along the West side of "Unit 7".
