The Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge
in Arkansas is a 7,057-acre preserve dedicated to providing habitat
for migratory waterfowl, endangered species and native wild plants and
animals. Visitors to Holla Bend can expect to see a variety of Arkansas
wildlife, especially birds. Examples include Bald Eagles, Redwinged
Blackbirds and 14 species of duck. The Refuge is also home to alligators,
many types of fish, coyotes, beavers and white tailed deer, as well
as numerous other common Arkansas creatures.
Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge has more to offer its nearly 40,000
annual visitors than Arkansas fish and wildlife, however. There are
10 miles of walking trails to enjoy, as well as year-round opportunities
for hunting and/or freshwater fishing. There are no campsites inside
the refuge, but there are camping facilities within a short driving
distance. Late winter is usually the best time to go, as the summers
tend to be hot and biting insects are plentiful.
