5/6/2025
Young animals are now being seen on the wildlife area. Please be aware and slow down while on the roads as young may be trying to cross.
Trails Update:
Trails are grass covered and sandy in some places. We at NNC will work to maintain the 15 miles of trails (blue, green, yellow, and red) to keep grasses low, but be prepared while outdoors. There are ticks, deer flies, and horse flies on the wildlife area. Be sure to wear protection (bug spray or protective clothing) and to check yourself when done hiking.
Remember: Navarino Wildlife Area is a multiuse property and please respect everyone who wants to come out and use the property. Reminder that Spring Turkey season is underway so be respectful to those hunters who may be using the property.
*Be prepared before you go. Wear protective clothing and be aware of the weather conditions. Dressing in bright colors while hiking is always recommended. Bug spray or netting is suggested as the temperatures continue to warm. Ticks are out so always check even if hiking on trails.
*Please be respectful. Remember that wildlife area is a multi use property and we can all do our part to enjoy our time outdoors.
*If stopping to view wildlife, please move over and put on your hazards as you slow down or if you are stopped. Please note that there are various parking lots and pull offs on McDonald Road that you can use to view wildlife.
*Be aware that Navarino Wildlife Area is a public wildlife area and is open for hunting and trapping. As the different hunting seasons approach different areas of the wildlife area will close to hunting. We encourage all hikers to wear bright colors and have their dogs easily identifiable.
