Matthews Brake National Wildlife Refuge encompasses nearly 2500 acres in west-central Mississippi. The major natural feature of the refuge is Matthews Brake, a shallow oxbow lake. The lake’s vegetation consists of bald cypress and water tupelo trees in the deeper portions, with buttonbush, American lotus, and swamp privet thickets in more shallow water. The population of migratory birds is very large and supports about 200 species of birds throughout the year. This is a beautiful, quiet place to paddle and enjoy nature.
