Welcome to Quogue Wildlife Refuge

The Quogue Wildlife Refuge is a 305 acre non-profit nature preserve that was founded in 1934 and is home to diverse wildlife. Free of charge and open 365 days a year from sunrise to sunset, you can enjoy walking seven miles of trails to explore diverse habitats including forests and ponds, as well as the ecologically rare Dwarf Pines in the Pine Barrens.

The Outdoor Wildlife Complex houses permanently injured wildlife that require human care to survive including owls, falcons, hawks, and other native New York animals.

The Charles Banks Belt Nature Center offers spectacular views of Old Ice Pond as well as a variety of wildlife exhibits, live animals, a nature library, and gift shop.

Dogs, Bicycles, and Picnicking are not permitted at the preserve. Come by and visit!

Trails, Outdoor Restrooms and Outdoor Wildlife Complex are open from sunrise to sunset. As we prepare for upcoming renovations, the Nature Center will not have regular posted hours. The office, nature center restrooms, gift shop and indoor animals may be available for visitation so please come in if the doors are open. Call the office 631-653-4771 for updated availability.
