From the highway just west of the entrance to the park a county road follows the northern boundary of the WMA leading to three additional parking areas. Trails within Cartier Slough WMA begin from Beaver Dick County Park and at the north side parking areas.
General Information
Cartier Slough Wildlife Management Area is located along the west side of the Henrys Fork of the Snake River west of Rexburg. The entire 1028 acres of Cartier Slough lies within big game unit 63A. The Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation acquired the land to replace habitat loss resulting from the construction of Ririe Dam and Teton Dam. The WMA is primarily a habitat for waterfowl that also provides habitat for a diverse variety of over 200 wildlife species. It is also managed to provide public access for hunting, fishing, trapping and wildlife viewing. Wildlife viewing now accounts for more user days than does hunting within the WMA. |
