Reviews of Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge
"We have visited at least once every season. There is always something to see. The seven mile drive through trail is marvelous"
"We love the wildlife drive and the short walking paths throughout it. We haven't done the larger trails with our kiddos yet, but will be I'm sure."
"Nice mix of wetlands, trees and prairie. Nice wildlife drive and well grokmed traiils. Scenery is ok. Feels more geared for the birding community. It could use a welcome or visitor center."
"Beautiful! Great place for birding and being one with nature. Trails are well maintained. Multiple hiking trail options provides serious and novice hikers with opportunities. Family friendly hikes and a beautiful 7.5 mile wilderness drive. Worth the stop every time! They also have a clean and informative visitor center."
"This is a fantastic place for all nature lovers, especially those with limited mobility. There's lots to see on the wildlife loop. The short trails are also nice for an easygoing walk (I prefer the Blue Hill trail to see warblers!) One of the best places to see sandhill cranes in MN."
