Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge opening to public access in Fall 2020_2

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing new waterfowl hunting opportunities at Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Gaston, Oregon. We are planning to open Wapato Lake National Wildlife Refuge to waterfowl hunting and other public uses for the first time later this year. This is part of the most robust expansion of hunting and angling opportunities ever proposed on refuges and hatcheries around the country, totaling 2.3 million acres -- bringing the total to 4 million acres nationwide during this administration.
