Lewis Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is located in west central Vermont in the town of Starksboro. Its 2,020 acres range from East Mountain on the west and the top of Hillsboro Mountain on the east. Elevations range from 900 to 2,500 feet in altitude. One branch of the headwaters of Lewis Creek arises here. The State of Vermont owns the property; the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department manages it. Timber rights on some of the WMA are privately owned. There are parking lots at the tops of Little Ireland Road and Hillsboro Road. Hillsboro Road is suitable for four-wheel drive vehicles only. Lewis Creek WMA is located mostly on the western slope of a small range of mountains that form the eastern side of the Lewis Creek Valley. It also extends east over the top of the ridge into the Huntington River drainage. The area is underlain mostly by well-drained loamy soils. Small streams, including one branch of the headwaters of Lewis Creek, arise on the WMA. The property supports a variety of natural communities and habitat types. Most of the forest is in northern hardwoods, but there are small pockets other forest types. There is early-successional aspen growth and paper birch regeneration on old fields. Part of the WMA is a hemlock- northern hardwood stand that is a deer wintering area. There are small areas of old field and apple orchards, which are maintained mostly to supply habitat for deer and grouse, although other species also benefit. There is a wetland complex at the lower, western end of the WMA. It includes wetland communities such as shrub swamp, cattail marsh and broad leaf emergent marsh.
