Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge's Environmental Assessment (EA) on Hunting is available from this link.

Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) received funding under the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 to construct a new administrative facility on the Refuge.

Lush hardwood forests surrounding oxbow lakes and a meandering river add up to precious remnants of a vanishing ecosystem in the east central Oklahoma landscape. The 9,000-acre Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge is one of more than 540 refuges throughout the United States managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Protecting important wetlands along the Deep Fork River, Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oklahoma is a newcomer to the National Wildlife Refuge System. Established in 1993, the Refuge is subject to flooding at least once a year. This flooding results in excellent conditions for waterfowl, including mallard, blue-winged teal, shoveler, pintail and wood ducks.
