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.
