The Fox Forest Wildlife Management Area covers around 120 acres of land between Scotts Ford and the DNR Office. This well-maintained area provides a much-loved recreation area for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. You can explore the area on foot along a network of 4 miles of hiking trails, all of which are easily accessed from Scotts Ford Public Fishing Access. You can try your hand at fishing at the pond located at the south end of the property. There are several information kiosks located along the trials, and benches are dotted around, inviting hikers to sit for a bit and just admire the natural world around them.
