Lemon Fair Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is located in Bridport, in central western Vermont. Presently it consists of 341 acres in 9 parcels. It is owned by the State of Vermont and managed by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. The only access at this time is by canoe or by permission from adjacent landowners.
In the near future, there will be a parking area in the northeastern parcel of the WMA. Look for the WMA sign.
The Lemon Fair arises in Orwell and flows north to empty into the Otter Creek in Weybridge. It is a mostly low- lying river with floodplains along many reaches. Part of the WMA is forested with mature silver and red maple, and some is grassland, pasture and old fields. Most of the WMA is in the floodplain.
A State-threatened mussel, the giant
floater, occurs in the Lemon Fair River.
