Natural Features and SceneryStockton Lake's sparkling waters serve as the stunning centerpiece to a landscape that seems pulled from an Ozark postcard. Native prairie grasses sway across rolling hills that give way to dense forests, creating a diverse ecosystem where wildlife thrives in remarkable abundance. Patient observers might spot white-tailed deer stepping quietly through morning mist, wild turkeys strutting through clearings, great blue herons standing sentinel along the shoreline, or bald eagles circling overhead. When autumn arrives, the forest canopy transforms into a spectacular tapestry of reds, oranges, and golds that reflects beautifully across the lake's calm surface.
