Hunting

Enid Lake provides excellent hunting opportunities with over 17,000 acres of managed forest lands.  Throughout the fall, hunters spend countless hours scouting and hunting the abundance of wildlife that includes deer, squirrel, rabbit, turkey and duck.  Through partnerships and volunteer efforts, Enid Lake manages two premier wildlife management areas – Springdale Wildlife Management Area and Dean Hill Wildlife Management Area at “Wildcat Brake”.  These areas encompass more than 3,700 acres of unique habitat and prime hunting opportunities. Hunters are provided an opportunity to hunt in a sanctuary of old river runs, sloughs, open bottom lands, wetland grasses and a mixture of hardwood and pine stands.  Annually, Enid Lake hosts a special deer and turkey hunt at the Springdale Wildlife Management Area (Permit Only), and celebrates one of America’s oldest traditions – Hunting – during their Hunting and Fishing Day event held each year in September.

Throughout the year Enid Rangers spend numerous hours introducing children to the outdoors and promoting environmental stewardship and wildlife/fisheries ethics.
