Busseltown Unit

The Busseltown Unit, the smallest refuge unit, contains 3,262 acres of wildlife habitat for a diversity of wildlife. Managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, it serves as a wintering ground for migratory ducks and geese. Croplands provide traditional crops such as corn, milo and winter wheat that supplement the natural foods.

Additionally, water control structures enable refuge staff to manipulate water levels in impoundments, producing natural foods in abundance for the birds. At the end of the road a scenic view of steep bluffs overhanging a narrowed portion of Kentucky Lake can be seen. Refuge visitors to this area can enjoy fishing, wildlife observation, hunting, photography, and just enjoying the beauty of nature.
