Mecan River State Fishery and Wildlife Area
The beautiful Mecan River flows
through this 740-acre property defining
the landscape. The forested uplands
offer nesting sites for warblers, woodpeckers
and
Ruffed Grouse.
An occasional
Bob-white Quail
can be heard calling
in the springtime.
The marshlands
are good
places to look for
turkeys and sedge
wrens. The meadows
shelter many
species of grassland birds. The property
is just north of the Mecan River
Fisheries Area, so bring your fly rod and
your canoe. In the early evening, look
for red fox, coyotes, badgers, mink and
fox squirrels along the roads.
