Powell Marsh Wildlife Area, Wildlife sanctuary in northern Wisconsin, United States.
The Powell Marsh Wildlife Area encompasses 4,850 acres of wetlands, forests, and open water areas across Vilas and Iron counties.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources established this protected area in 1955, transforming former farmsteads and railway tracks into natural habitats.
The land remains within territory ceded by Chippewa tribes through treaties from 1837 and 1842, maintaining traditional hunting and fishing privileges.
Visitors can access an 8.5-mile trail system for hiking and wildlife observation, with designated areas for hunting and fishing under state regulations.
The marsh contains five lakes and seven flowages, supporting 205 bird species, including the black tern and yellow rail among endangered populations.
