Public Use of Camas Prairie WMA

Public Use
The variety of waterfowl and shorebirds attracted to Camas Prairie Centennial Marsh WMA in turn attracts wildlife watchers. Springtime normally provides the best viewing opportunities, when water levels are high and migrating bird species plentiful. Because so many birds move through the area, plan to visit for a day or two; you may be surprised at the species variety that awaits. While waterfowl and shorebirds often use that portion of Centennial Marsh immediately adjacent to the road, human disturbance may push the birds into the marsh interior. Bring a spotting scope or binoculars to improve viewing opportunities.

Late-season waterfowl hunting is available at the WMA. However, opportunities are directly affected by precipitation levels the summer and fall previous. Upland bird hunting is spotty, while small game hunting can be good in years of high rabbit numbers.
