U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Hunting and fishing are a way of life in the northeastern area of the Sportsman’s Paradise. Lakes, rivers and bayous abound in the bottomland hardwood and mixed pine forests and agricultural landscape. The waters offer excellent fishing for bass, crappie, bream and catfish while forests provide habitat for trophy white-tail deer, eastern wild turkeys, wild hogs, small game and birds. And during the winter, the area is habitat for wintering waterfowl. Professional hunting and fishing outfitters and sportsman’s lodges can accommodate groups of nearly any size.
Abundant wildlife, acres of woodlands and miles of trails and nearly deserted roads provide opportunities for hiking, birding, photography, wildlife watching, painting, writing and other outdoor activities. Miles of rivers and bayous offer the chance for boating or canoeing the Mississippi River’s tributaries and distributaries bordered by fascinating landscapes teeming with wildlife. Campgrounds, canoe liveries and boat launches allow you to get close to nature.
