The only bottomland hardwood forest in the National forest system, Delta National Forest is a glimpse of how the Delta must have appeared to early settlers of the region. Contained within its 60,000 acres are primitive campsites, miles of ATV, hiking and horse trails, paddling opportunities and a host of wildlife. Spring and Fall provide wonderful birdwatching opportunities, and in the hot summer months, the forest becomes filled with butterflies of all varieties. Hunting is allowed in season, State WMA regulations apply.
