Located just north of Cleveland, Tennesee is the Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge. Thousands of migrating sandhill cranes make the Hiwassee Refuge their home from late fall to early spring, and every November you have a chance to view them and join in the celebration! See these beautiful birds in their natural habitat, along with other species including bald and golden eagles, whooping cranes, snow geese, black crowned night heron and many more. The Wildlife Refuge, operated by the Tennessee Wildlife Resource Agency, emphasizes the outdoors, conservation and wildlife education. It has been said that the Refuge is "...truly a treasure of Tennessee wildlife." For more information contact Meigs County Tourism (423) 334-3923.
