Established in 1975, Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge is located in southeast Arkansas, approximately eight miles west of the town of Crossett. Named for a small community located at its southwest corner, this 76,000 acre refuge contains an abundance of water resources dominated by the Ouachita and Saline Rivers and the Felsenthal Pool. The refuge is primarily bottomland hardwood forest, but contains 9,400 acres of loblolly pine forest. 

The refuge’s visitor center and headquarters is located about 7 miles west of Crossett on U.S. Highway 82. Look for signs along the highway. The visitor center is open year-round from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday; closed on all Federal holidays.
