Special Note: Willow Creek-Lurline Wildlife Management Area (WMA) area was established primarily to preserve wintering areas for waterfowl. Within this 20,000-acre management area, the FWS has purchased conservation easements on 5,488 acres from willing landowners to protect wildlife habitat. In exchange for payment, the landowners agree to maintain wetlands and other habitats on their property in perpetuity. These WMA lands are privately owned and not open for public access.
