From Interstate 84, North on Highway 55 to Highway 52 (Horseshoe Bend). Go eight miles west on Highway 52 and then south at the Sweet-Ola junction. The northern boundary of the WRA is located one mile south of the junction, where the highway crosses the Payette River. Ring-necked pheasants, gray partridge, and California quail are the most common upland game birds observed while Canada geese, mallards, pintails, wood ducks, and cinnamon, blue and green-winged teal are frequently observed waterfowl species. Raptors are often seen in the area, including red-tailed hawks, northern harriers, barn owls, and kestrels. Bald eagles winter along the Payette River. The thick riparian vegetation provides habitat for a variety of mammals, including mule deer, coyotes, muskrats, beaver, skunks, mink, raccoons, and cottontail rabbits. Game bird hunting, wildlife viewing, fishing and camping are just some of the recreational activities enjoyed by visitors to Montour WRA. Bird hunting is permitted over the entire area, with the exception of safety zones established around the developed campground and historic Montour townsite.
