The painted turtle (Chrysemys picta) is the most widespread native turtle of North America. It lives in relatively slow-moving fresh waters, from southern Canada to northern Mexico, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They have been shown to prefer large wetlands with long periods of inundation and emergent vegetation. [7]
The Painted Turtle was founded in 1999 by Paul Newman and Page and Lou Adler. [1] The camp was conceptualized by Adler and soon was able to get Newman to sponsor it as a part of his Hole in the Wall Gang Camps. [2] The camp got its name from the painted turtle, a widespread species found in most of the United States (but not native to ...
The lake is oval in shape, with a long axis running southwest to northeast. Two pathways circle the lake, a 2.7-mile (4.3 km) pedestrian trail and a 2.8-mile (4.5 km) bicycle trail. [2] Because the lower part of the lake is crossed by Cedar Avenue running north–south, the impression from the ground is that the lake is shaped like an L.
The southern painted turtle ranges from extreme southern Illinois and Missouri, roughly along the Mississippi River Valley, to the south. In Arkansas, it branches out to the west towards Texas, where it is found in the far northeast part of that state (Caddo Lake region) [13] as well as extreme southeastern Oklahoma (McCurtain County).

Commercial harvesting of painted turtle from the wild is controversial and, increasingly, restricted. [3] [4] Worldwide, many turtle species are endangered and turtle trapping has been implicated as a cause. [5] Since turtles are slow to sexually mature and are long-lived, they generally have poor replacement rates when hunted. [6] [7]
British Columbia road sign. The decline in painted turtle populations is not a simple story of dramatic range reduction, such as the American bison.Instead, the turtle remains numerous and occupies its original range—it is classified as G5 (demonstrably widespread) in its Natural Heritage Global Rank—however, the settlement of North America has undoubtedly reduced its population density.
