McKay Creek National Wildlife Refuge | U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service

Nestled between the Blue Mountains and the plains of eastern Oregon, McKay Creek National Wildlife Refuge is an aquatic oasis. Supporting a high diversity of wildlife, the refuge provides sanctuary to breeding and migratory birds in an otherwise arid and sparse desert environment. The refuge serves as a recreational mecca for residents of nearby Pendleton, Oregon, receiving over 50,000 visitors annually. The majority of visitors engage in fishing. Upland bird hunting is also popular, with many area hunters taking part in the annual pursuit of pheasant and quail. Other visitors simply enjoy bird watching, wildlife photography, or nature.
