Perhaps the fastest growing activity on national wildlife refuges is wildlife photography. You don鈥檛 need to purchase expensive equipment or have any experience to get started. A small camera or basic cell phone will do just fine for most visitors.  Photographing requires spending time out in nature and a healthy does of patience. Combined, the current Refuge units (Arbuckle, Hatchineha, and 鈥婯issimmee Bend) have over 30 miles of trails that are open to the public. These trails allow visitors to observe and photograph a diversity of habitats and associated wildlife. There are currently no photo blinds or observation towers. 鈥婩or specific rules and regulations of these opportunities, please reference:
