This refuge was set up as early as 1933 to protect birds that migrate along the Atlantic Flyway migration highway. The area covers over 28,000 acres (11,330 ha) of important habitats: wetlands, fields and forests. The Blackwater River flows through the park. It's named after its tea-like color. The water darkens as it drains through peat soil and picks up tannins.
