River Bend Park is fortunate to be located near three Wildlife Management Areas (Buffalo National River WMA, Norfork Lake WMA and the Sylamore WMA), offering a wide range of public hunting opportunities. The area is teeming with quality deer and turkey as well as small game such as rabbits and squirrel. There is also limited hunting of bear, quail and water fowl.

Arkansas offers hunters 65 and older as well as retired military personnel lifetime licenses for fishing and hunting. For more information on hunting licenses and regulations, visit the Arkansas Game & Fish Commission website.
