The Ohio River Scenic Byway, a historic 462-mile stretch of road that winds through America's heartland, has been used for commerce, travel, and as an important stop on the Underground Railroad. It also provides access to five National Wildlife Refuges, three of which can be found in Indiana. Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge, five miles north of the byway at Madison, contains one of the largest contiguous forest blocks and grassland complexes in Southeast Indiana. The Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge, located 30 miles northwest from Madison, is home to archaeological sites included on the National Register of Historic Places. The third refuge in Indiana, located at the southern end of the byway, is the Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge, which houses over 380 species of wildlife.
