THE GREAT OUTDOORS
If you enjoy the great outdoors, you will find
that Starkville surrounds you with nature. Hunting, fishing, bird
watching, hiking, boating, and water-skiing are all available within
a very short distance. Spanning 47,000 acres, the Noxubee Wildlife
Refuge is a man-developed waterfowl refuge with two lakes, nature
trails, and a bird sanctuary. Fishing is permitted in all refuge waters,
and hunting is allowed in selected areas. Public lands and private
hunting clubs also provide an abundance of hunting opportunities.
Oktibbeha County Lake and the Tombigbee River are nearby for swimming,
boating, skiing, and fishing. |
