The Refuge was established in 1964 as a migratory bird refuge to offset losses of wetland habitat that were occurring in central Florida. The refuge is comprised of freshwater marshes, hardwood swamps, uplands, and numerous freshwater stream, lakes and canals. In the early years of the refuge, a small portion of the existing marsh was impounded to attract waterfowl and wading birds
Fifteen miles of trails are available for exploration. Trails pass through a variety of habitats, including marshes, impounded wetlands, and pine flatwoods. All trails on the refuge are generally flat, but trail substrates are variable, and may include boardwalks, foot paths, or mowed grass.
