Currently 6,000 acres with ongoing acquisition of adjoining land in order to complete the WMA and flood control project.  Roseau Lake was drained in the early 1900's.  Prior to draining, the area had a rich history of wildlife use and public recreational use.  The lake remains drained yet today except during wet periods when the Roseau River overflows its banks and re-floods the original lake basin.  Wildlife use of the area fluctuates dramatically with the water levels.  It can be a good area to observe shore birds and other wetland related wildlife during migration some years.

Location: 6 imels NW of Roseau on County Road 123.
