If you're into the outdoors, then you're going to love the Bald Knob National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge spans over 15,000 acres of forests, wetlands, agricultural land and facilities.

The refuge is also open for waterfowl, deer, and small game hunting in designated areas and at specified times/seasons. You can go boating or fishing on the river for some crappie and bass.
