Archery Range Click to Enlarge Leased Lands Two public use agreements have been negotiated with local industries. The Intalco Aluminum Corporation has provided access to 1,000 acres for public hunting and related recreational activities since 1970. A walk-through archery range (two-mile loop through woods with shooting stations) and several water impoundments and associated wetlands, were constructed on the Intalco property. The British Petroleum Oil Company lease has provided an additional 1,000 acres for hunting since 1990. A 20-acre winter grain farming agreement with the company provides a valuable source for wintering waterfowl and has created a high quality waterfowl hunting area there. Two ponds and adjacent wetlands have been constructed with State duck stamp funds. The property is also a very valuable site utilized for a weekly pheasant release for hunting program each fall. Six hunting/wildlife viewing blinds are available for use on the Intalco property.
