Beaufort County is truly a sportsman's paradise. These pictures will
give some idea of the many diversions and interests to be found
here. Both game and large fish abound in the streams, and large and
small game thrive under the luxurious cover offered throughout the
county. Lake Mattamuskeet, just across the border in Hyde County, is
a national migratory waterfowl refuge. The past winter many carloads
off feed were provided for the millions of ducks and geese that were
suddenly caught in sleet and snow storm on the lake. Fifty thousand
acres are under water and ten thousand acres are provided for a
public shooting ground. A small fee is exacted for ground and guide
service and a number of people are employed by Federal Government.
The lake is located on U.S. Highway, No. 264, seventy miles from
Washington. |
