Columbia National Wildlife Refuge hiking

Fantastic area to explore. Wildlife, geology buffs and anyone who wants to relax. Lots of area to explore, little elevation gain.

Located by O'Sullivan Dam. The lakes are all a result of irrigation projects from the 1940's.

At milepost 14 (14 miles from Route 26), look for the Mar Don Resort. Directly across from the resort, near a maintenance shop and storage area, find a gravel road signed for public fishing and sign for Blythe, Corral and Chukar lakes. Follow the road past Corral Lake at .8 mile. In about 1.3 miles the road enters the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge. At 1.7 miles the road ends at Blythe Lake
