Beaverdam Wildlife Management Area

Stare beauty in the face at Beaverdam Wildlife Management Area with 12,000 acres to explore. It offers the opportunity to experience one of the best stands of mature bottomland hardwood on the entire Oconee River.

One of Georgia's best bird watching sites, it features mainly hardwood forests on the bank of the Oconee River. Beaverdam WMA offers miles of trails for both breeding species and migrants. Many of the trails are driveable. Trails that are not driveable offer easy walking or biking. Key birds: Swainson's and Prothonotary Warblers, Blue Heron, Kingfisher Louisiana Waterthrush, Common Ground-Dove, migrant warblers, and wintering sparrows.

Native wildlife includes white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, gray squirrels, bobcats, river otters and non-native coyotes.

Beaverdam turns primitive camping into your pristine destination for relaxation with two campsites located in breath-taking settings. Hunt, fish, hike, or practice at the 100-yard firearm range, which is open from sunrise to sunset.
