Class I H Lake, AR

Dale Bumpers White River National Wildlife Refuge lies mostly in the floodplain of the White River, near its junction with the mighty Mississippi River. Fertile soils, productive forests and 300 lakes interspersed with streams, sloughs and bayous create a haven for native wildlife. Be on the lookout for an array of bird life – roseate spoonbills and wood storks during fall, mallards and other waterfowl in winter, and brightly colored songbirds such as the prothonotary warbler during spring. Mink, otter and beaver can be spotted foraging in H Lake. (www.agfc.com)
