A large and varied wildlife
population, including
deer, fox, raccoon, possum, squirrel and rabbit plus quail
and wild turkey, finds a home in Oregon County's forests,
creating a paradise for the
hunter. Excellent opportunities for all outdoor sports await
in Oregon County!
Many
small streams offer privacy for the angler and the free-flowing Eleven
Point River winds its way through the county for more than fifty
miles. Its waters are alive with small - and
largemouth bass, catfish, "jack salmon" and rainbow
trout.
The Eleven Point is also popular
with canoeists, boasting both serene natural beauty and challenging stretches of
"white water" and rapids. A long section of this river
has been put under the protection of the National Scenic Riverways Act, and will be preserved in its
natural state. Camping way out in the "backwoods" brings back the days of the
pioneers! |
