McArthur Lake Wildlife Management Area at 1,207 acres (4.88 km2) is an Idaho wildlife management area in Bonner and Boundary counties located between Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry.[1] It was established in 1942 to protect and enhance waterfowl habitat.[2] It lies within the McArthur Lake Wildlife Corridor.[3]

The WMA includes the riparian zones around McArthur Lake that provide a variety of wildlife, including moose, elk, beaver, and river otters with habitat and food.[4] White-tailed deer and Canada geese are abundant, and hunting is permitted.[5]
