Warren County is a sportsman's paradise.
Hunting and fishing are extremely popular here and the region's forests, rivers and lakes are abundant with wildlife. Outdoorsmen hunt and trap for whitetail deer, wild turkey, dove, squirrel and other woodland creatures. A variety of waterfowl are also in plentiful supply. The 18 lakes and rivers in the area offer the angler bass, crappie, catfish and bream fishing. Watersports are, of course, an obvious favorite of enthusiasts and the facilities for boating and skiing are excellent.
