The primary purposes of Collins Landing Wildlife Management Area (WMA) are wildlife management, wildlife habitat management, and wildlife-dependent recreation. This WMA is a total of 51 acres of land spread over 2 parcels. Both parcels are accessed from Collins Landing Road. Collins Landing includes 14 acres of upland and 30 acres of wetland. The upland consists of three ecological communities: shrubland, pine-northern hardwood forest, and early growth northern hardwoods. The wetlands are a mixture of deep emergent marsh, shrub swamp, flood plain forest, and red maple-hardwood swamp.
There are no designated trails, but hiking is allowed throughout the property.
