Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge, located on the mainland coast of eastern North Carolina, covers more than 152,000 acres. It was established in 1984 to protect unique forested wetland habitats and associated wildlife species. The refuge bird list suggests that at least 200 species of birds spend at least a portion of their year here. Endangered and threatened species found on the refuge include the American alligator, peregrine falcon, American bald eagle and red-cockaded woodpecker. The refuge also is home to one of the largest remaining concentrations of black bear along the mid-Atlantic coast. In 1986, Alligator River also became the home of a reintroduced population of endangered red wolves. These species and many more are able to survive in a habitat that to humans is both rugged and inhospitable, yet quietly beautiful. Paddling is a good way to explore the creeks and canals of the Alligator River trail system. Guided canoe tours are also available for a fee. Call 252-987-2394 for times and reservations. Boaters, hunters, fishermen and other refuge visitors can use the Milltail Creek Canoe and Kayak Trails. Hunters need permits from the state and the refuge.
