HUNTING

Most of the land around the lake is native grass and primarily suited for quail and prairie chickens. The upper end of the lake has some dense woody vegetation along the creek bottoms that provide deer habitat. Turkey, rabbit, dove, raccoon, and squirrel can occasionally be found in good numbers.

Waterfowl hunting on the lake can be excellent in the marsh vegetation at the upper end of the lake above the fishing piers.

Many furbearers are present on the area, both terrestrial and wetland.
