Huron Wetland Management District

The Huron Wetland Management District encompasses 17,683 acres of waterfowl production areas across eight counties in the prairie pothole region of South Dakota.

The district received its official designation in 1992 under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect wetlands and grasslands for wildlife conservation purposes.

The Maga Ta-Hohpi Waterfowl Production Area includes accessible nature trails where visitors observe and photograph numerous bird species in their natural environment.

Visitors can engage in multiple outdoor activities including hunting, fishing, wildlife photography, environmental education, and interpretation throughout the designated areas.

The district contains numerous shallow, glacially formed wetland depressions that provide essential habitats for migrating waterfowl during spring and fall seasons.
