Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Located in the heart of Vermont's Rutland County, Lake Bomoseen Wildlife Management Area covers a rich landscape of wetlands, forests, and open water. Spanning a significant portion of Lake Bomoseen, the largest lake entirely within Vermont's borders, the area provides a habitat for various wildlife species including deer, turkeys, loons, and diverse fish populations. The terrain is predominantly wooded with occasional open areas featuring stunning views of the Lake and surrounding hills. Historically, the area played a pivotal role in the state's lake and forest ecosystem conservation area efforts. Recreation is a key attraction, with activities ranging from hiking and birdwatching to boating and fishing. The absence of urban noise and the presence of abundant wildlife make it a serene escape for nature lovers and photographers. The management area's unique blend of aquatic and terrestrial environments appeals to visitors interested in both water and land-based pursuits.
