As you enter the refuge property there is a lovely drive all the way to the visitor center. You can see on the link to the above mentioned “Refuge Map” there are roads throughout the refuge with great views of wildlife.  All the photos below I was able to pull over to the side of the road and setup my tripod and enjoy viewing and photographing while my friend could easily use her binoculars while enjoying the same view as she sat in the car.  There was a parking area by the Oak Savannah as well as a paved path through the Savannah that could be accessed using walkers, canes, or wheelchairs.
