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. |
