Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge offers a boat launch area providing access to the State-owned Barge Canal System, with three public fishing sites offering bank-fishing access to the Canal (note: fishing is prohibited in refuge pools).

The refuge features a 3. 5-mile Wildlife Drive, nature trails, observation towers, and a visitor center (open April-November), making it an excellent destination for wildlife viewing and photography in addition to paddling and fishing opportunities.
