Pets are allowed refuge-wide except inside buildings; they need to stay under the owner's direct control, with leashes required in posted areas.
Refuge buildings
Pets must be leashed at all times on a national wildlife refuge, and are usually limited to designated trails, roads, and public-use areas. Many refuges close sensitive habitat to pets to protect wildlife, so check the refuge page before you go.
Service animals are allowed where pets are not, under the ADA. A leash is still required.
