Hiking Trails Hagerman NWR features five inviting and well maintained hiking trails. All mileage is round trip. Park at the trailhead if you wish, but please do not block trail gates. Haller's Haven Trail 2.7 Miles, Partial Loop, Easy This trail offers a great view of the refuge at the top of an easy hill. Along the way you'll first pass Picnic Pond, then Dead Woman's pond which is often teaming with wildlife. This trail is named afer "The Birdman of Hagerman": Karl Haller. Raasch Trail 3 Miles, Down and Back, Easy Walk through a range of several different habitats and search for Eastern Bluebirds and other songbirds. Harris Creek Trail 0.25 ADA Trail, plus 1.25 and 2.25 Mile Loops, Easy This is the most popular trail, with several ponds and a photo blind. Park at the trail head or at the Visitor Center: it begins across the street from the Visitor Center entrance. Crow Hill Trail 0.75 Mile Loop, Moderate, Shady, short & steep. A great trail for exercise laps. A bit less travelled, lots of Painted Buntings in the summer months. Meadow Pond Trail 5.7 Miles, Down and Back, Mostly Gravel, Easy Begin with beautiful Deaver Pond and enjoy Meadow Pond two miles in: this is one of the refuge's favorite trails. Come in July when the American Lotus flowers are in bloom on the water. | Leashed dogs are welcome!
