Freezout Lake Wildlife Management Area
Freezout Lake Wildilfe Management Area was purchased in 1953 and subsequently developed into it's current status consisting of the main Freezout Lake and Priest Butte Lake and associated Ponds. The WMA is managed primarily for waterfowl production and public hunting and viewing opportunity. Providing habitat for upland game birds and other seasonal bird use are also continued management goals. Year-round access and wildlife viewing is possible, including upland game birds and raptors in the winter, waterfowl migrations in spring and fall, as well as waterfowl and shorebirds in the summer.
