Let's Go Outside!

Join park staff from the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge for a full day of FREE family fun that's focused on outdoor activity! Our annual celebration of summer returns! Join us for a free day of outdoor activities at the refuge. Learn to surf cast, meet tidepool critters up close, dissect an owl pellet, and even view the sun through a solar scope. This is an open streets event, meaning most of the refuge road is closed to walk, bike, and roll! Parking provided at Lot 1 and the refuge visitor center. A free shuttle will run between both parking locations. Please note: the refuge will delay opening until 15 minutes before the event begins, and the beach will be closed to fishing only until the event ends.
