South Stream Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is a 130-acre parcel in Pownal, which is owned by the State of Vermont and managed by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. Access and parking is located at the end of South Stream Access Area Road off South Stream Road. A second access point is from the end of Funny Farm Road east of Maple Grove Road.
South Stream Pond is a 24-acre impoundment with emergent vegetation, such as cattails, and open water. A dam is located in the northwestern corner of the WMA where South Stream Pond drains into South Stream. There are alders on the property, but the majority of the landscape is emergent wetland that rims the length of South Stream. This is a great area for waterfowl watching.
A rare plant, Hill’s pondweed, is located on this WMA. Please remember that this and other plants should not be picked or dug up regardless of abundance.
