Fish and Wildlife Service, Montana.
Every spring and fall, the big sky country of northeast Montana is filled with the clamor of bird calls. With a bird list that includes 283 species, the primary role of the Medicine Lake National Wildlife Refuge is to conserve its diverse wetlands and grasslands as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife.
Medicine Lake NWR is located north of Culbertson, Montana. From US 2, travel north on Montana Highway 16 for 25 miles to the Refuge entrance. Turn east on North Shore Road and travel 2.3 miles over a gravel road to the headquarters.
