For waterfowl enthusiasts, the improved duck holes feature new levees and water-control structures, along with approximately 150± acres of potential low-water areas that can be managed to create optimal duck habitat. The thoughtful water management infrastructure provides flexibility to plant, flood, and hold ducks throughout the season. The internal road system is top-notch and truck-ready when things are dry.
