Fairlee Marsh Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is located in the east-central Vermont town of Fairlee. The WMA is 60 acres in size (33 acres of wetland and 27 acres of upland) located where the outlet of Lake Morey empties into the Connecticut River. It is bounded by the Connecticut River on the south, the Boston and Maine Railroad on the west, and agricultural fields on the north and east sides. It is owned by the State of Vermont and is managed by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. Access is by boat from the Connecticut River, where an undeveloped campsite is located at the river’s edge. The campsite is maintained as a stop along a designated canoe trail. The marsh located on the WMA has a permanent water regime because it is directly connected to the Connecticut River and fed by the Lake Morey outlet brook. Water depths vary from 6-8 feet in the channel to several inches at the margins, with the majority of the wetland in the 12-24 inch depth range. This creates a diversity of plant and animal habitat.
