Fast Facts

Other interesting animals that can be found in the bottomland hardwood forests include coyotes, raccoons, river otters, beavers and mink. Many species of frogs and turtles live here, as well as insects including mosquitoes, ticks, and chiggers. The Refuge also supports the largest native population of black bear in the Mississippi River Valley.

Clarendon's levee surrounds the majority of the town and is a fantastic elevated walking trail. The levee allows birders to see into the trees at eye level, and is close to the river. Clarendon has also developed a self-guided tour to local purple martin gourds, the city water treatment facility, and a small oxbow located on the White River NWR that is accessible by car or foot.
