Your first stop on any visit to the Refuge should be at the Visitor Center, located at the junction of Sinclair and Gentry Roads. The Center is surrounded by native vegetation, agricultural fields, river and wetland habitats, and the Salton Sea. Inside you can pick up brochures and other information packets, as well as explore a bird diorama and shop in the bookstore. Proceeds from the sale of books and other educational items benefit the Refuge's educational programs.
Outside, a self guided trail will take you out to the Sea and introduce you to the habitats found in desert and wetland ecosystems. There is also an observation tower and picnic area located near the main parking lot. The Visitor Center is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. year round. From October through March, the Visitor Center is also open on weekends from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Visitor Center is closed on all national holidays. Please call 760-348-5278 for further information.
