Deer Parks Wildlife Management Area is a 2,556-acre (1,034 ha) Idaho wildlife management area in Madison County near the town of Roberts.[1] Land in the WMA was acquired in 1997 and 1999 for partial mitigation of the effects of the construction of the Palisades Dam.[2]

Most of the region's waterfowl species can be found in the WMA, including trumpeter swans.[3] The WMA is open to non-motorized travel all year and hunting in fall.[4]
