General Information
Mud Lake Wildlife Management Area (WMA) was established primarily to preserve and improve nesting habitat for waterfowl. In 1940, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG) purchased 607 acres of wetlands, creating Mud Lake WMA. Through the years, acquisition of adjacent land parcels, together with lease agreements and a withdrawl of lands from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, have expanded Mud Lake WMA to its present 8,853 acres.
