Whitewater Wildlife Management Area Access

The Whitewater WMA office is located 2 miles north of Elba on Highway 74 in Altura, MN, with numerous parking areas throughout the 27,400-acre management area providing access to the Whitewater River and its scenic bluffs.

Note that there are no campsites or rest areas within the ecologically sensitive WMA itself, though the river passes through this rugged coulee country offering opportunities for paddling and wildlife viewing.

The area maintains 26 miles of access roads and 60 parking areas to support hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation.
