Description: The Izaac Walton League initiated this 320 acre project as a memorial to Conservation Officer Louis Peloquin in the early 1950s; the project was finally completed and designated as a WMA in 1984. Deer, grouse, black bear, fisher, wolves and birds such as ruffed grouse and warblers use the forest, while the impoundments provide habitat for muskrats, beavers, ring-necked ducks, mallards and great blue herons. Management includes manipulating water levels to enhance habitat for waterfowl and timber harvest of the upland forest for deer and grouse. The Ruffed Grouse Society helped to establish 3 miles of hunter walking trails and a series of wildlife openings.
