Great Meadows NWR - Sudbury Unit - Massachusetts - National Wildlife Refuges on Waymarking.com

The Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, covering approximately 3,600 acres along the Concord and Sudbury Rivers, is a bird watcher's paradise. A popular tourist destination, the refuge consists of two major "units" - the Sudbury Unit (located along the Sudbury River in Sudbury MA), and the Concord Unit (located along the Concord River in Concord, some 6 miles further north). Nearly 85 percent of the refuge is made up of wetlands.

The Sudbury Unit of the Great Meadows NWR features a visitor center that contains interpretive exhibits and a small store. A viewing platform at the visitor center provides excellent views of a floodplain meadow, and two trails (the Weir Hill Trail and the Red Maple Trail) provide numerous opportunities for viewing wildlife in a natural habitat. General information can be found at kiosks and trail stations located around the refuge.

The Sudbury Unit can reached from Weir Hill Road (located off Lincoln Road) in Sudbury.
