At 7,802 acres, Muscatatuck is the state of Indiana’s oldest National Wildlife Refuge (founded in 1966). It was purchased with Duck Stamps and is largely converted farmland. Its name derives from the Muscatatuck River, which means “land of winding waters”. In addition to the forest and marshlands that comprise much of the refuge, there remain a number of historical remnants, including an old cemetery, cabin, and barn from the people that once called the refuge home. Today the refuge is managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and maintains many connections to the surrounding communities, including the Boy Scouts, local visitors bureaus, and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
