Mille Lacs Wildlife Management Area

Mille Lacs WMA was established in 1949. Sixty percent of the WMA is forested, with the remainder of land being wetlands, bogs and forest openings. Many fields around the area are planted with corn or maintained as hay land.

Forests on the WMA are managed to promote an interspersion of different aged plant communities and enhance wildlife diversity. Logging of hardwood and aspen stands create forest openings and edges between existing vegetation types.

Recreation Opportunities: Hunting options include: deer, bear, small game, forest game birds, and waterfowl. Wildlife viewing options include: wetland wildlife, and forest wildlife.
