Description:
The Flint Hills NWR lies in the broad, flat Neosho River Valley. The refuge is named for the gently rolling fossil-studded limestone hills to the west of the refuge. The refuge is managed primarily to benefit migrating and wintering waterfowl in the central flyway. A variety of management practices are utilized to meet the needs of wildlife. Along with large numbers of migrating birds the refuge is also a haven for whitetail deer, bobwhite quail, wild turkey, river otter and a diversity of other mammals, neotropical birds, reptiles and insects.

Directions:
Flint Hills Refuge is readily accessible by turnpike and interstate highways. The refuge is 11 miles east of Emporia, Kansas via Interstate 35, then 8 miles south on Kansas Highway 130. The headquarters is located in the town of Hartford, Kansas.
