Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge

The Tensas River NWR, located in northeast Louisiana, is one of the largest continuous blocks of bottomland hardwoods remaining in the nation. Programs on the refuge include cooperative farming, black bear research, neotropical migrant bird research, environmental education, and consumptive and non-consumptive public use programs.

Tensas River NWR is located approximately 14 miles south west of Tallulah, Louisiana. From Tallulah, take La. Hwy 80 west for 7 miles. Turn left (south) onto the gravel road at Quebec. Travel about 5 1/2 miles on the gravel to the paved refuge road. The refuge Visitor Center is at the end of the paved road (about 6 miles) on the left.
