The Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge offers a wide range of activities for visitors all year round. There are five refuge trails that cover 7.5 miles, perfect for viewing wildlife in both upland and wetland habitats. Several boardwalks along these trails allow for quiet reflection and elevated viewing opportunities for both resident and migratory species.

Guests can access various habitats via kayaks, canoes, or small motorized boats on the Missisquoi River and Lake and on Dead Creek. Access to Jeep trails is also provided in late spring and summer. Fishing, hunting, and park interpreter activities like nature and photography walks and owl prowls are also available.
