Roseau River Wildlife Management Area

The 29-mile “Wildlife Drive,” providing vehicle access to the Roseau River Wildlife Management Area (WMA) will be open July 20-26 and weekends thereafter through Aug. 23.

The drive traverses wetland, woodland, brushland, and farmland habitat, allowing visitors ample opportunity for wildlife viewing. Motorists are urged to use caution because of narrow roads, soft shoulders, deep ditches, and two-way traffic. The speed limit on all WMA roads is 20 mph.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources may close the drive if road conditions deteriorate due to poor weather. Only motor vehicles licensed for use on public highways are legal to operate on the WMA wildlife drive. The recommended entry point is the main dike road, one and three quarter miles south of the WMA headquarters on Roseau County Road 3.

The Roseau River WMA is located 20 miles northwest of Roseau. For more information, contact or stop by the Roseau River WMA office; phone 218-463-1130, 27952 400th St., Roseau, MN 56751.
