Kaw Wildlife Area
The area consists of 4,341 acres of land and river, all well above the conservation pool of Kaw Reservoir which is downstream in Oklahoma. About one-fourth of the area is under cultivation. These cultivated lands are leased to local farmers, a portion of the crop is left standing to provide food and cover for wildlife. The remainder of the area is grasslands and riparian timber. There is approximately 20-25 acres of pumped wetlands on the west side of the Arkansas River.
White-tailed deer, waterfowl, turkey, dove, and bobwhite quail are the most numerous and sought after species. There is limited opportunity for pheasants. Cotton-tailed rabbits and squirrels are numerous and have limited pressure put on their populations.
