The primary purposes of Honeyville Wildlife Management Area (WMA) are for wildlife management, wildlife habitat management, and wildlife-dependent recreation. This WMA is primarily an open water and emergent marsh impoundment with a limited amount of old field and shrub-dominated uplands. These habitats combine for a total WMA size of 110 acres. The WMA's open water is visible to the north of State Route 177 at Honeyville.
This WMA was acquired in 1966 and its impoundment was developed as wetland habitat for nesting and migratory waterfowl. Current public access is limited. A parking area marked with state WMA signs and a short trail to the impoundment is accessible from Fuller Road. However, this beautiful, undeveloped piece of public property is well worth the effort to experience and enjoy. Possibly the WMA's best feature is the shoreline, natural and undeveloped, which is rare in today's world.
