The Charles H. Rogers Wildlife Refuge is located along Stony Brook on West Drive off Alexander Street, bordering the Institute for Advanced Study woods. While its heartland is a marsh, the 39-acre refuge also contains woods, bush areas, thickets and the north bank of Stony Brook. The refuge is maintained cooperatively by Princeton Township, the New Jersey American Water Company, and local volunteers.

Visitors are asked to leave their cars in the parking lot by to the tower. Pets must be on a leash at all times. Dumping or discarding any kind of waste is prohibited throughout the refuge. It is unlawful to kill or molest all forms of wildlife and to damage or remove flowers, shrubs and trees.

Be aware that the Institute for Advanced Study Woods, adjacent to the Rogers Refuge, has a permit-only deer hunt from October 1 to mid-February. Please take appropriate precautions if walking in the woods in winter. More information at the Princeton Township web pages.
