About the Beech House Creek Wildlife Refuge
Welcome to Beech House Creek Wildlife Refuge, a serene 60-acre nature sanctuary located in Wilsonville, Pennsylvania, just a stone's throw away from the picturesque Lake Wallenpaupack. Nestled across from the Shuman Point Natural Area, our refuge offers a unique opportunity for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts to explore and enjoy the rich biodiversity of the region.
To reach us, head west on PA-590 from the Wilsonville traffic light at the intersection of US Route 6 & PA-590. After approximately 2.5 miles, look for Lakeshore Drive (SR-2002) on your left. You'll find a convenient pull-off for parking just a few feet down Lakeshore Drive. Once parked, return on foot to the stop sign at the end of Lakeshore Drive, cross PA-590, and head toward the Caffrey Recreation Area sign. From there, you can choose between two scenic trails that meander along the edges of our vibrant wetland.
Please exercise caution when crossing PA-590, as it is a busy highway. Our refuge is especially rewarding during the spring and fall migration seasons, offering sightings of a variety of diving and dabbling ducks, including Mallards, Wood Ducks, and Hooded Mergansers. Keep an eye out for the majestic Great Blue Herons and other potential heron and wading species. The wetland is home to breeding Swamp Sparrows and Red-winged Blackbirds, along with a diverse array of songbirds inhabiting the surrounding forests.
Beech House Creek Wildlife Refuge is a perfect addition to your birding itinerary, especially after exploring the larger Shuman Point Natural Area. While we do not offer direct access to Lake Wallenpaupack, the lake itself is a renowned destination for fishing and boating enthusiasts, with a rich variety of fish species.
For more information and safety tips, please visit the Lake Wallenpaupack Hotspots Overview/Group Page. Our website is proudly managed by Ken Ostermiller, Adam Jackson, and a dedicated team of volunteers. We invite you to immerse yourself in the tranquility and beauty of Beech House Creek Wildlife Refuge, where nature awaits your discovery.
