General Information
A unique and priceless wetland sanctuary was preserved in 1956 when the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) purchased 3,748 acres at Market Lake, establishing Market Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Home to a variety of wildlife, this expansive wetland is noted for its broad array of waterfowl and shorebirds. Since the original land purchase, several adjacent parcels have been acquired, expanding Market Lake WMA to 5,071 acres. In addition to wetlands, the WMA encompasses upland and riparian (river bottom) habitats. This habitat diversity results in the wide variety of wildlife found at Market Lake WMA.
