Carey Lake Wildlife Management Area at 400acres is an Idaho wildlife management area in Blaine County near the town of Carey.[1] The first land acquisition for the WMA occurred in 1949 from the Carey Lake Reservoir Company to provide habitat for migrating and breeding waterfowl and shorebirds.[2]
The WMA is at the edge of lava field that includes Craters of the Moon National Monument to the east.[3] Mule deer are the most common large mammal, and the most common recreational activity is fishing, particularly for largemouth bass and bluegill.[4]
