These Wildlife Management Areas Are an Outdoorsman’s Dream with KYAfield and my724outdoors.com!
We’ll tell you all about the Cedar Creek Lake and Dix River Wildlife Management Areas and the many outdoor opportunities they offer in this episode of “In the Woods and On the Water”!
Cedar Creek Lake
Cedar Creek Lake WMA surrounds the 792 acre
Cedar Creek Lake. West of Crab Orchard on US 150.
Directions from Stanford – travel east on US 150, 8
miles to the dam. Boat launch ramps are located on
Connector RD off of US 150, east of the dam, Old
US 150, and Cowan RD, off of HWY 1770.
The topography consists of gently sloping hills in a
300-ft buffer zone around the lake. Approximately
half of the acreage is forested and half is in an open
condition. Good to moderate populations of squirrel,
rabbits and songbirds exist on the area. Good to
moderate numbers of waterfowl use the lake during
spring and fall migration.
The area is open under statewide regulations for
small game and waterfowl but is not open to modern
gun deer season. See the Fall Hunting and Trapping
Guide for additional information concerning hunting
seasons.
