Dare Range location
Looking at my NC State Transportation Map from Washington going up 17 to US 64 may be a longer route. Perhaps the better route would be US 264, about the Hyde/Dare County lines on the left you will see the entrance to the Air Force range, continue past this to Stumpy Point and a mile or so past Stumpy Point the Navy entrance will be on the left and Navy Shell Road, it is nicely marked. Just as you enter there should be a small wooden box provided by the U S Fish and Wildlife Service, look in the box for a pamphlet of Hunting Regulations, this will have a nice map of the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge. Open House activities can begin as early as 0730 - 0800.
