Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge-Duck River Bottoms

Where the Duck River meets the Tennessee River is affectionately called the "Big Bottom." These bottomlands are some of the most fertile land in the nation, and are now home to thousands of wintering waterfowl, hawks, bald eagles, shorebirds and egrets. The area has an extensive system of refuge roads to view wildlife, and there is an info kiosk at the entrance. Visit the Pintail Point Observation Deck for excellent photo opportunities. Area open year-round; some roads closed Nov. 15-March 16.
