Sign in to contribute

Chicot County occupies the far southeastern tip of Arkansas in the Mississippi Delta, centered on Lake Chicot - the largest natural lake in the state and one of the premier waterfowl destinations on the Mississippi Flyway. Mallards, snow geese, and diving ducks pour through during migration, making this county a bucket-list destination for waterfowlers. White-tailed deer are abundant in the flooded bottomland hardwoods and agricultural fields surrounding the oxbow lake system.

Terrain & elevation

Mississippi Delta flatlands with oxbow lakes, flooded bottomland hardwoods, row-crop agriculture in soybeans, corn, rice, and cotton, and seasonal wetlands connected to the Mississippi River drainage.

Hunting pressure

High for waterfowl - prime blinds and flooded fields are heavily competed for; deer pressure is moderate to high in agricultural corridors during gun season.

Tags & permits

OTC statewide license; Delta zone regulations; flooded timber hunting for deer is popular in the bottomland areas.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting is the defining draw - mallards concentrate in flooded rice stubble and timber during peak migration; snow goose conservation order extends the season into spring; wild turkey present but secondary.

Highlights

Lake Chicot is the crown jewel of Arkansas oxbow lake waterfowling; the county sits in a major Mississippi Flyway funnel that concentrates ducks and geese from October through February.
