Noxubee Wildlife Refuge

Our office and visitor center is located at the edge of Bluff Lake northwest of Brooksville, northeast of Louisville, and south of Starkville, Mississippi. The Refuge managers and staff are responsible for managing the 48,000-acre Noxubee Refuge (pronounced Nox' u bee), located in east-central Mississippi. The Refuge serves as a resting and feeding area for migratory birds and as an example of proper land stewardship. Also, the Refuge is extensively managed for the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker.
  Refuge trails are open during daylight hours, but may be under water during flooding. Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge has two major lakes, (Bluff Lake: 800 acres, Loakfoma Lake: 400 acres) several small impoundments, creeks, and rivers available for fishing.
