Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge is located in Terrebonne Parish, about five miles southwest of Houma, Louisiana. It is part of the Southeast Louisiana National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The 4,619-acre refuge consists of freshwater marsh and cypress-tupelo swamp. It provides habitat for wading birds, waterfowl and neotropical songbirds. It can only be accessed by boat. Foot travel through the soft marsh environment is very difficult. The refuge is open year-round. The visitors can enjoy observing wildlife, boating and fishing. The Friends of Louisiana Wildlife Refuges organizes various annual events at the refuge, obtains grants to fund the support of the refuge projects and organizes fund-raising in support of environmental education.
