Hatchie Refuge stretches along 23 miles of the Hatchie River in Haywood County, West Tennessee. This scenic refuge encompasses the central section of the Hatchie River and comprises a diverse range of habitats, including bottomland hardwoods, moist soil units, agricultural fields, and surrounding uplands. Within this expansive landscape, you'll find extensive forested areas, open spaces, and water features that create a vital ecological environment for a variety of fish, wildlife, and plant species within the Lower Mississippi River Ecosystem. While the bottomlands exhibit a predominantly flat topography, subtle variations in elevation give rise to distinct soil types, drainage patterns, and unique compositions of forest species.
