Wildlife and Habitat
Rich, dark soil with an ancient, wet history gave rise to the prairies, savannas and woodlands called the blacklands. This wildlife management area, designated in 1997, includes 4,885 acres of this threatened landscape with tall, native grasses and vibrant wildflowers. It’s the largest tract of public blackland prairie in the nation.
The natural force of fire plays an integral role in the health of the ecosystem, which supports hundreds of plant and animal species. Plants are dormant in winter; wildflowers bloom during spring and summer. Fishing, hunting, wildlife viewing and shooting are popular at Grandview; stop by the Rick Evans Grandview Prairie Nature Center for details.

Hunting
Check the current Arkansas Hunting Guidebook for hunting season dates, and wear hunter orange at appropriate times.

Camping
