Description

Honeoye Inlet Wildlife Management Area - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

The 1,981- acre Honeoye Inlet Wildlife Management Area is located in southern Ontario County, occupying the valley at the south end of Honeoye Lake. Habitat types include an extensive silver maple-ash swamp on the valley floor, steep wooded hillsides, and open grasslands on the valley floor to the south. A dug channel, serving as the main inlet to Honeoye Lake, runs the length of the wooded swamp from south to north, and is a popular destination for a variety of recreational activities. The area offers a variety of game and non-game wildlife, including white-tailed deer, wild turkey, grey squirrel, waterfowl, furbearers, grassland birds and raptors, and amphibians. River otter, now common residents in the channel and swamp, are the product of a successful reintroduction project in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
