​Trails Update:​​

Trails are grass covered and sandy in some places. We at NNC will work to maintain the 15 miles of trails (blue, green, yellow, and red) to keep grasses low, but be prepared while outdoors. There are ticks, deer flies, and horse flies on the wildlife area. Be sure to wear protection (bug spray or protective clothing) and to check yourself when done hiking. 

​

 ​Remember: Navarino Wildlife Area is a multiuse property and please respect everyone who wants to come out and use the property.

​

​*Be prepared before you go. Wear protective clothing and be aware of the weather conditions. Dressing in bright colors while hiking is always recommended. Bug spray or netting is suggested as the temperatures changes different insect hatches can occur. Ticks are out so always check even if hiking on trails.

​

*Please be respectful. Remember that wildlife area is a multi-use property and we can all do our part to enjoy our time outdoors.
