Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area

Snow geese and tundra swans at the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, March 2016

The Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area is a 6,000 acre Wildlife Management Area located in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and Lebanon County, Pennsylvania.[1] It is managed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

The area lakes seasonally get up to 100,000 migrating snow geese.[2] The largest of the lakes was created by a dam built in the early 1970s, and covers 360 acres. The Horse-Shoe Trail goes through the area just south of the main impoundment dam.
