Sign in to contribute

Wabash County in north-central Indiana is anchored by the Salamonie River corridor and Salamonie Lake, where state fish and wildlife management creates significant public hunting opportunity in an agricultural landscape. The river and reservoir provide habitat diversity that concentrates deer and turkey in an otherwise heavily farmed region. Salamonie SRA represents one of the most productive public hunting destinations in northern Indiana.

Terrain & elevation

Flat to gently rolling glaciated terrain with the Wabash River cutting through the south and the Salamonie River and Reservoir in the east providing the primary timber, wetland, and upland hunting habitats.

Hunting pressure

Moderate - Salamonie SRA attracts hunters from across the region, but the total acreage is sufficient to distribute pressure reasonably throughout the season.

Tags & permits

OTC statewide system.

Species & seasons

Wild turkey populations are healthy in the reservoir timber borders and river corridors; waterfowl use the Salamonie Reservoir basin during migration providing additional hunting opportunity.

Highlights

Salamonie Lake area is one of the best public-land deer and turkey destinations in northern Indiana; the river and reservoir confluence creates natural deer funnels during the rut that are worth hunting hard.
