Little Pend National Wildlife Refuge is located in northeast Washington, 13 miles southeast of Colville in Stevens County. Located on the west slope of the Selkirk Mountain Range, it is the only mountainous, mixed-conifer forest refuge in the contiguous United States. The 40,198 acres range in elevation from 1800 feet on the western lowlands to 5600 feet on the eastern boundary at Olson Peak. The Refuge was established in 1939 as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife. Most of the land was acquired through the Resettlement Administration which retired marginal farmland. Other land was purchased from willing settlers or acquired through exchange with the Washington Department of Natural Resources. Little Pend Oreille National Wildlife Refuge is one of over 530 refuges in the United states managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
