A wildlife management area of nearly 10,000 acres, located at the upper end of the lake, provides habitat for many kinds of game and non-game wildlife. This area, operated by the Game and Fish Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, offers the public excellent hunting opportunities. Hunters with a Georgia Wildlife Management Area stamp can hunt seasonally and participate in special quota hunts. Hunting is also permitted in specific Corps-managed areas, provided the hunter has a valid state hunting license and a West Point Lake Hunting Permit, and is using weapons designated for the area on a current Hunting Map.
