economy. It is a
paradise for the
outdoorsmen and
recreation
enthusiasts.
Our lakes, bayous, &
forest areas are some
of the best
anywhere. Water
sports enthusiasts
find ample space for
skiing, boating, and

lakes. Dorcheat
Bayou, one of the
state's Natural
Scenic Waterways, is
located here. Bodcaw
Bayou is another

Waterway. Lake Erling
is just north, in
Arkansas. Our
many acres of trees
provide the hunters
an abundance of deer,
turkey, squirrel, and
even wild hogs.

major assets.
