The large federally-protected swans are an unusual sight in northwest Arkansas and their appearance on the waters of City Lake show the value of the lake for native wildlife, including endangered and federally-protected species. Trumpeter swans have been brought back from the brink of extinction and shallow lakes like Siloam Springs City Lake are a favorite of the large swans.
