Huron Wetland Management District (WMD) was created on May 31, 1992. Huron WMD covers eight counties in east-central South Dakota. The topography of this area ranges from flat, gently rolling drift prairie to the Missouri Coteau hills in the western end of the District. The District lies in the midst of the world renowned "prairie pothole" region.

The public lands of Huron WMD, called waterfowl production areas (WPAs), are a part of the National Wildlife Refuge System. National wildlife refuges and WPAs are vitally important to wildlife and people. These lands are managed to provide habitat for endangered species, migratory birds, and other wildlife and to provide places for people to learn about and enjoy wildlife. WPAs are open to many public activities year-round. Visitors to WPAs can expect to find a rich variety of plant and animal life.
