Mingo National Wildlife Refuge

I like bringing my dog here sometimes to walk the boardwalk trail or the overlook behind the building. From what I’ve seen the place is kept up nice. Went into the building once to look at the exhibits and gift shop. Gift shop was cash-only. The people working inside that day were friendly

The hike is relatively short along the boardwalk, but offers some great views within the actual swamp. During the spring and summer you will see plenty of wildlife such as snakes and aquatic insects, and the fall and winter offers fantastic bird watching opportunities. The drive around the refuge costs $3 per vehicle but is worth it to see the natural state of southeast Missouri.

My Grandpa Green used to take us out there when I was a kid. Brought back a lot of memories and a great place to walk my dog, Rocky. Great scenery and a beautiful day.

Love it there, been twice but didn't see but a few animals but alot of beautiful things, places , I love to fish but I was there taking photos to put on my website company I'm just starting to sell online and got lots to add still..

The visitor center was amazing. And the trails were fantastic.

An awesome place to go and see nature

My son and I have been going on the boardwalk for several years now. It's our time for peace, and to spot as many animals as we possibly can along the walk.

This was a great visit. The location is beautiful and easy to get to, the staff onsite were all happy to be there, and of course it was a pleasant environment to be in. Can't complain about anything.

It was very peaceful we will go again
The first time that I've ever been there

Very pretty. Saw ducks, deer, squirrel and birds. My teenage boys even got out of the car!! Auto tour definitely worth the time!!

Beautiful visitor center, friendly staff, rich wildlife, and very clean.

Great birding, very nice swamp boardwalk. Very interesting loop drive. Restrooms were spotlessly clean. Visitors center was closed in the middle of the week so that was a little disappointing , but overall a great springtime Visit for migrating birds.

There is so much to see here. Ditches line the roadways for miles. Some areas are open while some areas are fully wooded. You will see deer, maybe some beavers, owls, Hawks. It's a beautiful place to drive and walk. The trails and boardwalks are enjoyable during the winter, summer, and fall.

Very nice boardwalk. It as a variety of trails and auto tour routes. Great place to see bottom land forest! It has a variety of species to enjoy!

So amazing its a must see!!!

Lots of history and interactive stations. A must if you're in the area

Really enjoyed my time here, definitely a swampy area

If you love wildlife, especially reptiles and amphibians, this is the place for you!

Unique, with a combination of trails for different abilities, and two scenic drives.

Well kept boardwalk into swamp land. Also 20 some miles of well marked scenic drive worth taking.
