Lynch Creek State Wildlife Area

This 100-acre site features a short 1/4-mile trail leading to a viewing platform over Lynch Creek impoundment. Another path heads to a grass and shrub peninsula. The area includes cattail marsh, bog wetland, and red pine forest, attracting Belted Kingfishers, snipe, warblers, herons, bitterns, sandpipers, and ducks.

It’s a great spot for a moonlit walk, as wetland birds are most active at night. The Lynch Creek Hunter Walking Trail offers easy access for hunters of small and big game. The trail system is about a mile long, winding through older aspen, hardwood, and conifer, with a single 2-acre opening.

There is a single gated trailhead located on the north side of FR 203, about 5.5 miles north of Highway 77.
