The River "S" Unit of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge has a 4.2 mile auto tour route and 1.5 mile seasonal hiking trail. The auto tour is an excellent way to see the Refuge. A pair of binoculars is a must and a camera makes it even more fun !!!
An invasive groundcover, Periwinkle, also known as "Common Periwinkle" or "Creeping Myrtle", lines the pathway down the slope to Gee Creek and Carty Lake.
The following is a collection of images taken of the Periwinkle. Also link out to the "Trip Logs" to see more images of various birds, wildlife, and flowers taken each day.
