A wide variety of wildlife inhabit this generally open mountain
brush community offering ample viewing opportunity. Light
use and motorized restrictions result in negligible human
impact from consumptive (hunting/trapping) or nonconsumptive
uses.
Montpelier WMA and the surrounding public lands provide
wonderful opportunities for mule deer and upland game
hunting and viewing. For those who enjoy watching and
photographing wildlife there is an abundance of plants and
nongame animals. Some fishing opportunity is available in the
reach of Montpelier Creek that passes through the WMA.
Good trails exist for hiking, horseback riding and cross-country
skiing. Motorized travel within the interior of the WMA is
prohibited in order to protect the habitat and minimize wildlife
stress and disturbance. Visitors are encouraged to use the trails
wisely by not leaving litter or damaging the habitat.
