Buck Lake WMA is open to regulated hunting, fishing,
and trapping. Fishing is restricted to walk-in and car-top
carry-in boats or canoes. When using this WMA at any time
of the year, avoid those areas along the access road that are
developed with camp buildings as these are frequently used
as Department training and meeting sites in non-snow
months.
Buck Lake WMA sits on the divide between the
Winooski River and Lamoille River watersheds. Buck Lake
drains into the Kingsbury Branch of the Winooski River and
eventually into the Winooski mainstem. Woodbury Gulf
and 2,460-foot Woodbury Mountain are located to the
northwest. Most of the WMA is upland habitat, with wet
areas located adjacent to Buck Lake, especially along its
outlet, where open-water beaver ponds are located.
