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.
