Big Cypress Creek Grand Lodge & Waterfowl Reserve
Big Cypress Creek Grand Lodge & Waterfowl Reserve is a rare 311± acre legacy waterfowl property in the heart of Eastern Arkansas—an iconic stretch along Big Cypress Creek in Monroe County that’s long been known for holding strong mallard numbers year after year. From the permanent blinds to the natural stand-and-shoot spots tucked along the creek, this is the kind of place built on tradition—where mornings in the timber feel the way Arkansas duck hunting is supposed to feel.
The habitat is as authentic as it gets: creek-side cover, conservation-designated areas that protect and enhance the waterfowl environment, and two small fields on the east side that are typically planted in rice to keep birds feeding and returning. Two boat houses and three boats make access simple and efficient, whether you’re moving at daylight or setting up for an afternoon hunt.

Just 12 miles north—near the Hwy 49 / 79 corridor on McKoy Lane—an elegant 6,100-square-foot lodge elevates the entire experience. Designed for comfort, entertaining, and effortless weekends with family, friends, or clients, the lodge features a grand gathering room anchored by a massive rock fireplace, a bar area, and a kitchen with expansive dining space made for telling stories after the hunt. Six luxurious suites—each with a full walk-in shower and a personal cedar closet—offer privacy and upscale accommodations that feel more like a high-end retreat than a hunting camp. Add a dedicated gun room, personal lockers, and a well-planned carport with a cleaning room and wader room, and you’ll see how every detail was built for the lifestyle.
Big Cypress Creek Grand Lodge & Waterfowl Reserve isn’t just a great duck property—it’s a refined Arkansas hunting estate with history, habitat, and a lodge that’s as impressive as the mornings it was made for. Lodge can be purchased separately.
