Sign in to contribute

Miami County in north-central Indiana is defined by the Mississinewa and Eel River corridors, with Mississinewa Reservoir providing a significant Corps of Engineers public land resource surrounding a large impoundment. Flat agricultural fields surrounding the reservoir give way to wooded river bottoms that funnel deer and provide staging areas for migrating waterfowl. The reservoir lands are the primary public hunting draw and see a mix of deer and waterfowl hunters seasonally.

Terrain & elevation

Primarily flat agricultural terrain in the north dissected by the Eel and Mississinewa River valleys. Mississinewa Reservoir creates a large water body with surrounding wooded shorelines and wetland margins managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.

Hunting pressure

Moderate — reservoir public lands draw hunters from across north-central Indiana; deer hunting on private farm ground is competitive for permission.

Tags & permits

Over-the-counter; standard Indiana deer license for all seasons.

Species & seasons

Waterfowl hunting on Mississinewa Reservoir during migration can be productive for diving ducks and puddle ducks. Canada geese are present year-round.

Highlights

Mississinewa Reservoir Corps of Engineers lands offer accessible public deer and waterfowl hunting; river bottom deer stands in the Mississinewa valley produce good buck movement during the rut.
