Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge

Its woodland and wetland setting makes it a destination for walking, wildlife observation and learning about Long Island’s coastal ecosystems.

Use the Fish and Wildlife Service’s current visitor map and alerts to choose an authorized route. The photograph shows an earlier view of the river rather than present water conditions or a guaranteed wildlife sighting. Trails, visitor-center facilities and organized programs can follow different schedules. Stay within open public areas and avoid disturbing birds and other animals in protected habitat.
