Cartier Slough Wildlife Management Area is located along the west side of the Henrys Fork of the Snake River west of Rexburg. From Rexburg travel 6 miles west on Highway 33 to Beaver Dick County Park and Boat Ramp. From the highway just west of the entrance to the park a county road follows the northern boundary of the WMA leading to three additional parking areas. Moose, mule deer and white-tailed deer are resident on the WMA and the occasional elk may be seen. Beaver, muskrat, cottontail rabbits are common throughout the WMA. Geese and a great variety of ducks nest on the WMA while trumpeter and tundra swans migrate through the area and are common during spring and fall months. At least four species of hummingbirds come to the WMA during spring and summer months. Big game hunting, upland bird hunting or waterfowl hunting are all available on the WMA. Trails throughout the WMA are provided for hiking, biking and horseback riding. Photography and viewing areas will bring pleasure to even the most seasoned bird watcher. During spring and fall migrating trumpeter swans can be seen and photographed.
