Primarily managed for wildlife, the English River Wildlife Area attracts huntable populations of waterfowl, deer, and pheasant. It also contains small numbers of wild turkey, squirrel, and rabbits. Trapping and hunting for raccoon is especially popular there, with some fox, mink, muskrat, and coyote also being harvested. Non-game enthusiasts will find large populations and diversity of a wide range of wildlife species. Bird species range from bluebirds to marsh wrens, plants from duck weed to oak trees, and animals from shrews to white-tailed deer. Parking areas are located along the south and west ends of the area. Be sure to include your compass, waterproof boots, and insect repellant as you explore this area.
