Welcome

​West Kentucky Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in McCracken County is experiencing important changes that will affect hunters and others who enjoy the property near Paducah.

Mobility-impaired access on West Kentucky WMA has been expanded from 459 to 3,669.77 acres. This expansion will provide additional opportunities for limited-mobility hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy public lands. Mobility-impaired users wishing to use the WMA must complete an application to be permitted special hunting privileges within this WMA and others. Information about mobility-impaired access and the permit process can be found on the Hunting Method Exemptions webpage on the department’s website (fw.ky.gov).
