Des Lacs National Wildlife Refuge in Kenmare, got its name from the French trappers who migrated to this area because of the many furbearing animals. This unique area was formed from the runoff thousands of years ago by glacial Lake Regina. Now this 19,500-acre wonderland is a refuge for migrating birds like tundra swans and snow geese. The birds are attracted to this area because of the managed wetlands and natural lakes. Children of all ages will enjoy the beauty of American White Pelicans feasting on small fish, and the sight of Giant Canadian Geese.
