Arrowwood Wetland Management District

Arrowwood Wetland Management District (WMD) was established in 1961 as a breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife. The District currently includes 28 waterfowl production areas (WPAs) totaling 6,138 acres across Foster and Eddy counties in east-central North Dakota. Within the District, there also are 314 wetland easements protecting 19,046 acres of wetland habitat, four Farmers Home Administration easements, and one easement Refuge (Johnson Lake National Wildlife Refuge). A brochure and map are available showing the location of individual units within the District.

WPAs offer many opportunities for wildlife observation, hiking, hunting, photography, winter sports (cross-country skiing), and education and interpretation for organized groups. Wildlife species often observed on the WPAs include a variety of waterfowl, upland game birds, songbirds, birds of prey, deer, and numerous fur bearers.
