The significant sanctuary is located ten miles south of Corvallis and includes the Willamette Valley wet prairie. The almost exclusive winter home of Dusky Canada Geese from November through to March.

The geese have suffered a decline in population due to environmental changes and the wetlands are managed to promote the flourishing of the geese and other wildlife who feed on the millet and sedges grown here. The William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge is accessible by two roads and two trails throughout the year, with four viewpoints providing kiosks and bulletin boards for convenience. There are many things to do at the William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge for nature lovers.
