Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge is a spectacular 74,000-acre national wildlife refuge located along the delta of the Bear River, where it flows into the Great Salt Lake in Box Elder County.

The refuge, which was established in 1928, is known as a significant habitat for migratory bird species, including bald eagles and tundra swans.

Visitors can learn about bird species and wetland habitats at the James V. Hansen Wildlife Education Center, which is home to a half-mile accessible walking trail and recreated wetland habitat.

A 12-mile one-way auto touring loop is open to the public daily between sunrise and sunset, accompanied by an audio tour elaborating on the area's wilderness habitats.
