Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge was established to recover fish and
wildlife habitat in and along the Missouri River and to restore essential
wildlife habitat that became scarce after the river was "improved" for
navigation half a century ago.

Today, Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge provides an opportunity to
experience rare Missouri River floodplain habitats that have largely
disappeared from the landscape. These diverse prairies, floodplain forests,
wetlands, and riverine habitats provide for the needs of resident, migratory,
and endangered species. Wildlife-dependent recreation and education
opportunities are available to the surrounding communities including a major
metropolitan area.

Boyer Chute National Wildlife Refuge is managed together with DeSoto National
Wildlife Refuge, which is located just upriver. For questions regarding Boyer
Chute National Wildlife Refuge, contact the staff of DeSoto at 712-388-4800.
