North Sauty Refuge

5,000-acre natural landscape

North Sauty Refuge spans 5,000 acres of wetlands and woodlands, offering opportunities for birdwatching, hunting, and nature exploration. Upland small-game hunting is permitted for species like squirrel, rabbit, and raccoon during Alabama’s regulated seasons, but deer and waterfowl hunting are prohibited. The refuge is also a prime spot for viewing waterfowl, shorebirds, and seasonal bat emergences.

 

 

Hunters must carry a valid state license, WMA permit, and a signed refuge-specific permit. Firearms and archery equipment must meet state regulations, and hunting is allowed only during daylight hours.

Where To Stay

Lodging options include hotels, cabins, short term rentals, tree houses, glamping tents, and campgrounds. Visitors can find accommodations to suit every preference and budget, ensuring a comfortable stay.

“From the one-and-only Unclaimed Baggage Center to waterfront dining, you’ll find more than you expected. What’s more, all of this comes at a very reasonable price point, so you can afford to keep coming back and finding new adventures.”
