A Rich Historical Landscape
Tule Lake is steeped in history, both ecological and cultural. As part of the Pacific Flyway, it has long served as a critical stopover for millions of migratory birds. The lake and surrounding refuge lands were established in 1908 as part of the nation’s first waterfowl refuge, marking a pivotal moment in American conservation history. Beyond its ecological significance, Tule Lake has ties to human history, with the Modoc people historically inhabiting the region and the area later playing a role in agricultural development during the 20th century.

A Sanctuary for Wildlife
Tule Lake is a dynamic habitat that supports an incredible diversity of species. Its wetlands, open waters, and surrounding grasslands provide critical resources for migratory birds such as snow geese, sandhill cranes, and tundra swans. The lake is also home to a variety of mammals, including river otters, deer, and coyotes, as well as reptiles and amphibians. Birdwatchers flock to Tule Lake to witness seasonal spectacles as flocks of birds take to the skies in mesmerizing formations.
