Wood Lake National Wildlife Refuge

Wood Lake National Wildlife Refuge is a National Wildlife Refuge in Benson County, North Dakota.

Limited-interest refuges were created in the 1930s and 1940s in response to declining waterfowl populations and the need to get people back to work during the Great Depression.

Many landowners sold easements allowing the federal government to regulate water levels and restrict hunting.
