 The Wiley A. McGehee Memorial Park, which is a
cypress break converted into a recreational area, offers picnicking facilities,
a scenic duck pond and fishing for the young.
In the South Annex Park there are tennis courts and a small baseball field. There
is a municipal swimming pool as well as pools at the McGehee Boy's Club and at
the Country Club (members only). Other tennis courts are available at the high
school and at the Country Club.
There is a 9-hole golf course at the Delta Country Club for members only.
Just twenty miles south of McGehee is Lake Chicot State Park and Chicot County
Park, both located on Lake Chicot, a large Oxbow Lake. Fishing is a popular sport
not only on Lake Chicot but also on the Mississippi River, the Arkansas River,
and the White River.
Camping is available at both the county and the state parks. There are many private
campgrounds in the area.
Hunting and fishing are both popular sports. The lakes and streams provide a wide
variety of game fish, particularly bass. In season, hunters bag deer, ducks, turkey,
squirrel, quail, rabbits, doves, and raccoons. The majority of hunters hunt on
private leases. There is a commercial duck club.
Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Regulations are published in two additions each
year and are available at sporting goods stores. Residency is sixty days. Licenses
include residents, non-residents, non-resident trip, archery, hunting dogs, deer
tag, turkey tag and duck stamps. |
