How to Use this Map
Select from the list of WMAs on the left to view detail information and links to resources. Zoom in closer to a WMA to see detailed features.
Traditional Wildlife Management Area: An area managed by the Division that provides recreational opportunities such as hunting, fishing, bird watching, bike riding, hiking, camping, or other activities. Note: A limited number of leased properties provide the Division management flexibility and may be designated as a Traditional WMA.
Natural Area: An area managed by the Division for the conservation of rare plants or animals or sensitive natural communities. These areas may have restrictions on vehicular access and/or recreational use to protect these resources.
Leased Recreation Area: An area held under a long or short term lease or management agreement to provide public recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, bird watching, bike riding, hiking, camping, or other uses, with limited vehicular access and management. Note: Some Wildlife Management Areas may contain state owned and leased acres. Due to limitations associated with the lease, these WMAs are designated “Leased Recreation Areas”, though parts may be state owned.
