Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge

Welcome to Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge located in northwest Mississippi near Crowder. Refuge History: The Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge is relatively small and was only established as recently as 2000. Currently the refuge is at 2,069 acres in size but the acquisition boundary is over 16,000 acres in size. Most of the refuge is reforested bottomland hardwood trees and each winter and spring the waters of the Tallahatchie and Coldwater rivers submerge nearly all 2,069 acres. Today the refuge is important refuge for waterfowl and other migratory birds and is thus not open for public use.
