FYI, the two sides ARE connected. If you go in the east entrance, walk up the hill to the south side and there is a gate to the canal. Walk west along the canal to the west side of the refuge. The west side is accessible from dawn until dusk year-round, the east side is closed for a good part of the year and opens at 8am when open.
Hours of Operation: Tuesdays - Saturdays, 8am - 4pm, May - September; and closed October - April.
