Willard Marsh Wildlife Area
This 1,676-acre wildlife area is four miles southwest of Willard in the farm country of Huron County in north-central Ohio. The best access is from U.S. Route 224 to Section Line Road.

Willard Marsh WA is relatively flat, with about two-thirds of the land in woodlands. The remainder of the land is divided between open land and brush. This provides excellent cover for whitetails. The nearby croplands and a plentiful supply of water have helped deer numbers increase steadily in recent years.

Other counties in the northwestern region of the state that tallied high bow kills last year include Richland (507) and Lucas County (494). Public access is limited in these regions, but many landowners welcome considerate hunters who take the time to request permission and respect the landowner's property.

For additional information on the deer-hunting opportunities in the northwest region of Ohio, contact the Wildlife District Two office, 952 Lima Avenue, Findlay OH 45840; or call (419) 424-5000.
