Kennett and Dunklin County deliver a wide variety of venues for the nature lover. Opportunities for fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing are:

Little River Conservation Area - 1,066 acres provide opportunities for outdoor recreation.  It's open to all statewide hunting seasons, except duck. The wetlands attract many migratory birds, making it great for bird watching and photography.

Ben Cash Conservation Area - a 1,300 acre wildlife area on the St. Francis River, is one of the few remaining vestiges of bottomland hardwood trees. It also contains an extremely diversified floral community.
