Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge

Welcome to the audio-described version of Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge’s official print brochure. Through text and audio descriptions of photos, illustrations, and maps, this version interprets the 12 page color brochure that visitors receive. The brochure includes sections that explores the seasons, habitats and activities available at the refuge as well as a map and information for planning your visit.

This audio version is  30 minutes and 43 seconds long, and is divided into 27 main sections. A map of the refuge is at the end of the brochure. You can listen straight through or choose which sections to hear. Most sections are one to three minutes long.

A team audio-described this brochure during the October 2022 Descriptathon led by the Uni D team from the University of Hawaii and NPS. We enjoyed working on it and hope you find it useful.

Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge is one of over 560 refuges in the United States, which is one of the largest systems of protected lands and waters in the world. Refuges are set aside to protect, conserve and restore the natural habitats that our native wildlife need to survive. 

Located in southeastern Nevada, Pahranagat was established to conserve wetlands and lakes needed for migratory birds and wintering waterfowl. Over 50,000 people come to visit each year to hike, hunt, fish, view wildlife, and to take in the spectacular landscape of low elevation lakes in the Mojave Desert.

Color photograph that spans back to front cover

SYNOPSIS: 

An image of a duck fills the back and front covers, wrapping from back to front. The body is on the back, slightly out of focus, and the head is on the front.

In-depth Description:

A side-profile photograph showing the front half of a male cinnamon teal floating in gentle, sky blue water on a sunny day. The duck has bright reddish plumage with droplets of water clinging to it, an elongated black bill held in a closed position, vivid red eye, and sleek black crown on the top of its head. The body continues the bright reddish plumage and the back has modeled brown, white, and dark feathers. The water is largely undisturbed with a slight ripple emanating from the duck’s procession. The inverted reflection of the duck is present in the water.

CAPTION: Pacific Flyway

RELATED TEXT: 

The Pie utes’ oral history and the geologic record indicate that thousands of years ago Nevada was much cooler and wetter than it is today. Many valleys contained lakes which dried up as the climate warmed, leaving white mineral deposits on valley and canyon walls. Today, Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) contains several lakes and marshes, similar to those which once occurred throughout many parts of southern Nevada.

In the Pie ute language, Pahranagat can mean “feet sticking in water,” an apt name for this wetland oasis straddling the Mojave and Great Basin Deserts. Pahranagat NWR is a paradise for many species of wildlife and plants. Here you can watch as hundreds of ducks and geese alight on the lakes after a long journey north or south, thrill at the sight of a soaring bald eagle, photograph the desert in bloom after rain, or be fascinated by a blazing sunset.

In 1963, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recognized the value of the Pahranagat Valley and designated 3,916 acres of lakes, marshes, wet meadows, and desert uplands as Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge has since expanded to its current size of 5,380 acres. Located on the Pacific Flyway, the refuge is an essential stopover for migratory birds as they travel south in the fall and back north in early spring.

Pahranagat NWR is one of more than 560 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System, a network of lands set aside specifically for wildlife. Managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the System is a living heritage, conserving wildlife and habitat for people today and generations to come.

RELATED TEXT:

Migrating birds arrive during the spring to fuel up for longer journeys north or to begin nesting. Greater sandhill cranes feed in grasslands and wet meadows in February and March. Geese and ducks begin to arrive in March and shorebirds, such as Wilson’s phalaropes, stopover in April and May. Early morning visits to cottonwood and willow groves yield views of chorusing songbirds, including numerous yellow warblers.

Following spring rains, wildflowers paint the desert yellow, orange, and red. Threatened desert tortoises emerge from their burrows to feed on these succulent plants.

The first duck broods of redheads and mallards appear in May. Herons and egrets stalk the shorelines and marshes for food. Endangered southwestern willow flycatchers nest in large willows or cottonwoods. Young rabbits and mule deer fawns venture out of cover. These animals are hunted by resident carnivores such as golden eagles, coyotes, and mountain lions, which also need food for their young.

RELATED TEXT:

Cottonwood and willow leaves turn brilliant yellow in autumn. Marsh plants begin to change color as well, creating a mosaic of yellows, tans, and reds. Ducks, shorebirds, and songbirds migrate south, stopping to rest and refuel.

Lizards, snakes, and tortoises become less active due to cooler temperatures. Mule deer begin breeding, and mature bucks with large antlers may be observed.

RELATED TEXT:

Upper Pahranagat Lake and the North Marsh Lake, which have the deepest water, attract diving ducks such as canvasbacks, common mergansers, and ruddy ducks. The shallower Middle Marsh and Lower Pahranagat Lake are preferred by dabbling mallards, pintails, and teal as well as wading herons and egrets. Northern harriers, marsh wrens, yellow-headed blackbirds, muskrats, and even the occasional bald eagle or peregrine falcon also benefit from marsh habitats.

Seasonal draining of marshes exposes mudflats, a prime feeding area for white-faced ibis, American avocet, and killdeer.

RELATED TEXT: 

Cottonwood and willow trees line the refuge’s lake shores and springs. Riparian habitats (areas of moisture dependent vegetation that grows along watercourses) are among the most endangered habitats in the Southwest.

Riparian habitat provides feeding and nesting areas for birds that migrate here from the tropics, such as the yellow warbler, Bullock’s oriole, and the endangered Southwestern willow flycatcher. Nonnative tamarisk (salt cedar) trees, which add toxic salts to soils and use large quantities of valuable ground water, are removed, as are Russian olive trees.

DESCRIBING: Two-page map of Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge with detail map of Upper Pahranagat Lake

SYNOPSIS: An orientation map showing facilities, trails, and natural features of the refuge. Oriented north-south, it covers a seven by three mile area. It shows a long refuge that includes 2 marshes, 2 lakes, and the trails and facilities around the water features as landscape in-between.

IN-DEPTH DESCRIPTION: The northern section of the refuge has a detail map that magnifies North Marsh and Upper Pahranagat Lake. This map is to the right half of the fold. The key for the detail map shows 0.5 and 1 mile and 0.5 and 1 kilometer scale. For reference, Upper Pahranagat Lake is at its max 0.5 miles wide and less than a mile long. North Marsh and Upper Pahranagat Lake are situated like a figure eight with North Marsh at the top which is closed (no entry). A trail separates the two water bodies and goes along the west side of Upper Pahranagat Lake. 

The east side of lake has a campground with an approximately 3-mile gravel access road beginning to the west of highway 93 at the north of end of North Marsh. Fifteen sites are dispersed along the eastern shore of the lake. The first parking lot on the campground access road about one mile and a half off Highway 93 has restrooms, day use parking and a picnic area. The Upper Lake Trail circumnavigates the lake and heads west between the marsh and lake for 0.4 miles where an interpretive panel is located. The Upper Lake Trail continues south along the lake for 1.2 miles where it connects to the accessible section. A 0.3-mile accessible path heads west from the last campsite at the south end of the lake to interpretive signs and a viewing scope.

From the southern end of the access road and the lake, the Waterway Hiking Trail departs southwest of Highway 93 towards the visitor center. The Davenport Trail heads south from the southwest side of the lake where the accessible trail and Upper Lake Trail intersect.

The refuge is closed from sunset to sunrise unless stated otherwise.
