National Wildlife Refuges in Ohio

Ohio has 4 national wildlife refuges, all run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: Cedar Point National Wildlife Refuge, Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge, and West Sister Island National Wildlife Refuge. 1 is closed to the public.

Each refuge sets its own closures and fire rules. Each refuge's page lists the fire restriction orders and closures on record for it, from the refuge's own fws.gov alerts, re-checked every six hours. Hunting and fishing seasons and limits are the refuge regulation's and Nevada's: each page links them, and none are restated here.
