The primary purposes of Cross Lake Islands Wildlife Management Area (WMA) are for wildlife management, wildlife habitat management, and wildlife-dependent recreation. This WMA covers 26.6 acres and consists of two islands in the southern end of Cross Lake. The Seneca River flows through the lower third of the lake, passing the two islands. The islands are only accessible by boat.
