The East Pool within Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge is a managed body of water, controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers via the Highway 75 Dam and Levee System. Although the water is too shallow to provide year-round fish habitat, the water levels are maintained for optimal habitat for various bird, amphibian and reptile, insect and plant species.
