With the Conservation Heritage Museum having opened earlier this year, it’s a great time to plan a trip out to Middle Creek.
Located just south of Kleinfeltersville, the Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area has a full slate of events planned for this autumn.
Middle Creek has over 100,000 visitors each year. Particularly as a location to find snow geese during their migration, it attracts both hunters and people visiting recreationally for photography, bird-watching, hiking and more.
