Wildlife Preserves & Refuges

Harney Lake
There's no public access to the two lakes, as snowy plover, a species experiencing severe declines in numbers in recent years nest along the shores. The OO Unit of the Refuge, which consists of the once-private OO Ranch, has a fair amount of marsh containing typical birds of that habitat. This road has recently been the most reliable place to find burrowing owl, which have made use of a couple of culverts along the road which have convenient mileage markers nearby for owls to perch when on "guard duty".

Malheur National Wildlife Refuges
This refuge was established in 1908, is located in southeastern Oregon on the northern edge of the Great Basin. It is adjacent to the newly established Steens Mountain Wilderness, with the Wild and Scenic Donner and Blitzen (thunder and lightning) River flowing into the refuge at its southern boundary. Facilities are not provided.
