Gourt Home::Gourt :: Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge
Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is a 74,000 acre National Wildlife Refuge in Utah, established in 1928.
The refuge encompasses the Bear River and its delta where it flows into the northern part of the Great Salt Lake. It includes a variety of habitats, such as open water, mudflats, wetlands, and uplands. The refuge hosts millions of migratory birds each year including species such as bald eagle and tundra swan.
Starting in 1983, rising floodwaters from the Great Salt Lake severely impacted the refuge. In 2006, a new wildlife education center off Interstate 15 opened to attact visitors once more.
