Steigerwald Refuge: Nature’s work in progress

Nature in its most glorified state is on display at the Steigerwald Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Washougal.

In addition to more than 200 species of birds that have been spotted there, the refuge contains more than 1,000 acres of historic lakebed, river bottomland habitat and oak woodlands. It often serves as a migration corridor for a variety of birds, and supports anadromous fish migration, breeding neo tropical birds and wintering ducks and geese.
