We accessed the wildlife refuge from the Dike Trail rather than from Hwy 14 and did the Gibbons Creek Wildlife Art trail, using the Dike Trail to make it a loop. The eastern section of this trail is closed October - April for wintering birds, so it would be an out and back hike during this period. The trail is in great shape, we saw the regulars: heron, ducks, geese, and Osprey. There was a notice posted confirming a cougar sighting on 8/5/2018, though we saw no mammals, cougar or otherwise on this visit.
