The Allatoona Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is federal property managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers.  This 6,818 acre property in Georgia’s Cherokee and Bartow counties  — on the northeastern end of Lake Allatoona — allows seasonal hunting for deer, bear, turkey, small game and waterfowl.

All terrain vehicles (ATV) are not allowed on Allatoona WMA property.  Camping is not allowed.

In order to keep folks safe during the various hunting seasons, horse trails, bicycle trails and other areas are closed before 10:00 a.m. EST during all deer and turkey seasons.  These areas are closed all day on October 21-22.

There are no fees to access WMA properties.  A license is required to hunt or fish.  There may be a fee to launch boats at US Army Corps of Engineers facilities.

There is no charge to hike, do a little bird watching or simply enjoy the outdoors.
