Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area Details
Encompassing parts of Addison, Panton, and Bridport, this sprawling 2,858-acre nature preserve has some of the best birdwatching in Vermont. Over 200 different species have been seen in this area, including a wild mix of marsh dwellers, waterfowl, and songbirds. This is also a good spot to see migratory visitors, especially huge flocks of Canada and snow geese, as well as many species of shorebirds. Even if you come during the summer or winter (non-migratory season), you will see a wide range of more common birds like bald eagles, Ruffed grouse, and wild turkeys. And keep your eyes peeled for other wildlife in the park, including coyotes, minks, beavers, bobcats, and deer.
