| Shillapoo Wildlife Area was established to protect and enhance wintering waterfowl habitat. |
| The wildlife area is in a restricted firearm use zone, in which only shotguns and bow and arrow equipment can be used. The use of rifles and pistols here is prohibited under county rules. Dog training is not allowed on this unit from the end of waterfowl season through April 15th each year. The public is also asked to not enter the unit during the same time period to provide a disturbance free area for wintering waterfowl and sandhill cranes. |
The 882-acre North unit includes the northern and eastern portions of the drained Shillapoo lakebed and approximately 1½ miles of shoreline on Lake River. Several sharecrop fields are located on this unit.
