Blackwater National
Wildlife Refuge Closing Portions of Wildlife Drive
Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge will be

The project is expected to take approximately two weeks to complete. During this
time refuge staff will keep as much of the drive open to the public as possible.
However, on Nov. 26thand Nov.

duration of the closure. For project updates, please call 410-228-2677. We
regret any inconvenience this may cause.
