Review:
Bon Secour National Wildlife Refuge is a gorgeous 7,157-acre national wildlife refuge stretching across five units throughout Alabama's Mobile and Baldwin Counties on the Fort Morgan Peninsula. The refuge serves as an important habitat for migrating birds in the region, protecting one of the largest undeveloped tracts of land along the Alabama coastline. It was established in 1980 and named for the French term for "safe harbor," a nod to its protection of natural sand dune, fresh and saltwater marsh, scrub forest, freshwater swamp, and upland habitats. More than 50,000 annual visitors explore the refuge for its outdoor recreational opportunities, including chances for hiking, camping, and viewing up to 400 native bird and animal species throughout the year.
