Tom Lawin Wildlife Area is a 3,156 acre property (2,388 acres of state owned lands, 769 acres of public hunting leases) located two miles southeast of Jim Falls and its boundaries lie within the Town of Anson and Town of Arthur. There are access points on highways K and S. The property is surrounded by private lands so it is important that users know and respect the property boundaries.
The area consists of marsh, farmland, uplands and forest. The property lies in the transition zone between two ecological landscapes: the Forest Transition and the North Central Forest. Ground flora show characteristics of both northern and southern Wisconsin as this ecological landscape lies along the tension zone.
