William L Finley National Wildlife Refuge Mega Loop - Corvallis
About this event
This mega loop of the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge strings together 5 different popular trails to make one massive loop that will take us through all the different environments the refuge has to offer.
We will climb hills and circle around ponds and marshes. Along the way we will find several wildlife viewing blinds where we can watch for various bird species such as waterfowl, herons, hawks, ospreys, eagles, and songbirds.
Bring a snack or lunch as we will find somewhere on or off the trail to take a break since this hike takes at least 3 hours to complete.
Contact Sandra (text preferred) by noon on Monday, June 10 to sign up for this hike.
