The St. Marks Refuge is a destination for people and wildlife. Each year over 300,000 visit your St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge to hike, observe wildlife, fish or visit the St. Marks Lighthouse. The refuge is a crucial stopover for over 300 bird species, is home to rare, endangered, and protected species, including the frosted flatwoods salamander, and is stopping point for monarch butterflies in the fall as they migrate.
