We will meet a refuge headquarters and hike natural surface trails.

Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge features the largest natural freshwater lake in North Carolina. The shallow 40,000 ­ acre Lake Mattamuskeet located on the Albemarle-Pamlico Peninsula in Hyde County, North Carolina, was established in 1934.

The Refuge consists of 50,180 acres of open water, marsh, timber, and croplands
as well as swamp forests, and upland forests.

Visitors are welcome to walk or bicycle throughout the refuge; fishing, birding, photography, and hunting are popular recreational activities.
