Hunting
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is not involved in
regulation or management of hunting and fishing activities. The U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service under the National Wildlife Refuge System established
the
The Red River National Wildlife Refuge in 2000 to restore and conserve bottomland
hardwood habitats
within the Red River valley for native plant and animal communities, migratory
waterfowl and songbirds.
Currently, the refuge consists of approximately 5,200 acres of bottomlands habitat
within the historic Red
River floodplain. The refuge has the potential to conserve and protect
approximately 50,000 acres in five
separate tracts from the Arkansas state line to Colfax, Louisiana. In addition
to improved fish and wildlife
habitat, the Red River National Wildlife Refuge will also provide excellent opportunities
to enjoy wildland
recreation and environmental education. The only two hunting areas along
the Red River are at Bayou Pierre and Spanish Lake. Please refer to the
