The principal wildlife are deer, ruffed grouse and squirrels. Public hunting is also available at the Emmons Creek Barrons Natural Area, next to Hartman Creek State Park.

Public Fishing Areas

All waterways in Wisconsin are managed by the state, and public fishing is allowed wherever there is public access. State lands and natural areas often contain fishing areas, and many lakes in the area offer public boat launches. Information about public boat launches can be found on the Waupaca County Parks & Recreation website.
