Abstract:

Meaning Dry Dust in Native American, Lake Mattamuskeet is a freshwater saucer thirteen miles long, five miles wide and less than six feet deep. Covering almost a sixth of Hyde County, North Carolina, Lake Mattamuskeet is the winter home of tens of thousands of Canadian Geese and a National Waterfowl Refuge. The Refuge is cooperatively managed for public hunting by the US Fish and Wildlife Service and NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
