  • The Wolf River was named for the red wolf, once found throughout the southeastern US. Although you won’t see any red wolves along the river today, you may see plentiful other wildlife including fox, coyotes, deer, turkey, rabbits, and many songbirds. In the swamp areas along the river, ducks, geese and other wading birds coexist with mink, muskrats, nutria, otter, beaver, opossum, and turtles. If you’re lucky, you may spot an alligator sunning on the riverbank or the shadow of a black bear slipping through the trees.
