Nature
Surrounding woods are comprised of oak, hickory, cedar, elm, dogwood and redbud, which offer sanctuary for many species of birds and mark the transition zone between the pine forests to the east and the prairie grasslands to the north and west. Wildlife found in the park include osprey (year-round), bald eagles (November through February), white-tailed deer, raccoons, foxes, beavers, squirrels and armadillos. Popular catches include catfish, bass, carp, freshwater redfish, and other varieties.
