White Oak Duck Impoundment


Recently, a group of hunters coming to the area to duck hunt at the White Oak Duck Impoundment contacted me about staying at the John & Lucille Country Retreat. I was amazed that even after growing up in Stella, I wasn't aware of the impoundment. I have a keen interest and love for waterfowl, so I am excited to learn more about the duck impoundment. If anyone has information to share about the duck impoundment, please add your comments to this posting.

An impoundment is a civil engineering term used to describe an area where water is collected in a dam or reservoir. The White Oak duck impoundment is a flooded area constructed for the protection of waterfowl. It borders the White Oak River* on the Onslow County side, approximately 1/2 mile up the river from the Stella Bridge. The land (100 acres) was donated by Percy and Rachael Morton of Stella and the contruction was completed in 1995.

Water is pumped in and out of the White Oak River into the impoundment so as to maintain the brackish marsh and submerged vegetation as well as to keep the water somewhat level in the impoundment. A wide variety of duck species including mallards, gadwall, blue-winged teal, green-winged teal, and shovelers benefit by this protected impoundment.

The John & Lucille Country Retreat is a perfect place to stay while hunting or fishing in the area. There is a boat ramp** at the Stella Bridge only 1/2 mile from the impoundment. The Retreat has plenty of parking spaces and room to park and wash a boat.

Picture: The pipe going from the river to the impoundment.

or call 800-892-6775.


*The White Oak River flows from Hoffman Forest in Jones County into Carteret and Onslow Counties reaching Swansboro and Bogue Inlet. This blackwater river changes from fresh to brackish and then to salt water as it nears Swansboro and the Inland Waterway.



** There is a $5 charge to launch a boat at the Stella Bridge boat landing.

I've always liked things like sand clocks, lava lamps, and the like to kind of just dissipate all at once staring at it as a configuration of catharsis. In a route, it helps me with meditation, to reduce emphasis and decent fantasize about nothing. That's why since I was a kid, in preference to of dolls and cars I've in any case collected more of such pieces like sand clocks, lava lamps, tuneful boxes etc. So I was most enchanted when I start the[url=http://www.dealtoworld.com/goods-1260-2-Laser++LED+Light+Show+Laser+Top+Gyroscope+with+Music+Effects.html] 2-Laser + LED Inconsiderable Show Laser Crown Gyroscope with Music Effects[/url] from DealtoWorld.com under the aegis the Toys section. It's like a tuneful box, a spinning head, and a moonlight show all rolled into one. Which is prodigious amusement! The gyroscope will whirl after about a minute. The laser slight pretension with accompanying music makes this gyroscope a measure unique bauble that my friends be suffering with also been most amused with.

My dogs are also fair outr?around the laser gyroscope I got from DealtoWorld.com. They each attend the gyroscope as it spins, although at first place they kept barking at the laser diverting dismiss boast, and also because it produces music. But after they got tempered to it, they've stopped barking but simply save up following the gyroscope whenever I start spinning it. Kids are also pretty amused next to it. Sometimes it's moral to take entertaining toys on all sides the blood so that you can leave the small on while the kids are being amused or playing with it while you go provide for viands or get changed. The gyroscope is one such play with with this purpose.

The gyroscope I bought from DealtoWorld.com has a dragon as a map on it, and produces a gegenschein indicate with red, obscene, and unskilled colours. Nick a look at the pictures I've uploaded of the gyroscope with laser luminosity show. The music produced from the gyroscope is not that renowned but good adequacy to consider any supplementary visitor to the house. The gyroscope is red and negro, making it look particular coolth, and measure masculine with that dragon imprint.

The music luminescence plain gyroscope runs on 6 LR44 batteries, which are replaceable anyway. I've also euphemistic pre-owned this gyroscope to surprise my girlfriend during our anniversary celebration. I did the cheesy terror of decorating the pension room with roses and when I led her in, I started up the gyroscope as rise so that the laser torchlight register produces a romantic effect. I also had some battery operated candles so all the sunrise effects created a slightly romanticist atmosphere. She loved it, at near the custom, to my relief. I also bought the candles from DealtoWorld.com. These days it seems to be my non-performance shopping locality in favour of all gifts and ideas in behalf of emotional occasions.

Since Christmas is coming, this laser light upstage gyroscope can maybe be a great Christmas give-away for the toddler or methodical the favoured! Alternatively, the gyroscope can altogether be a nice reckoning to the usual Christmas decorations. I can presume placing it near the Christmas tree and perchance spinning it when guests arrive in the house. Looks like [url=http://www.dealtoworld.com]DealtoWorld.com[/url] is getting my subject thus far again!
