A great place for a Sunday drive. Its not too far out of town, and last time we were out we saw quite a few deer. Its pretty nice for this area.

Great place to relax. Have enjoyed evenings after work, fishing while my wife floats on a tube. Weather you are fishing, swimming, floating, or boating, this is the place to kick back and relax.

Fun. Nice water. We always bring a empty garbage bag to clean up other peoples garbage left scattered every where. But besides the trash, broken glass we always have fun there.

Beautiful lo action! Came out here with some friends to relax due to a long week. This was my first time to this area. Was well maintained. The sunset while we were there was amazing and not long after, the wildlife started to say hello. There were several coyotes speaking to each other and saw an owl up in the tree next to us. I will definitely return here sometime!

Nice gravel, now if we can keep the idiots from tearing up the road it could be nice all spring and summer.

I have been going to McKay Dam for almost 70 years. Nice walk across the Dam and back. I hope you dont need to use the chemical toilet. I would not want to have my name on it. Terrible condition and to think a lot of people come to McKay Dam and this is the best that US Fish and Wildlife can do.

This refuge is managed on a shoestring budget, and it shows. Weeds are abundant, litter is strewn on the shoreline, and very little in the way of amenities. One boat launch that is usable most of the season.
