| Note | Dick Cross (formerly Elm Hill) Wildlife Management Area is located in Mecklenburg County, along the north side of the Roanoke River just below John H. Kerr Dam. Gently rolling land, the area's elevation varies from 200 to 300 feet. Much of the area was once a cattle farm and evidence of that operation remains. The area's 1,400 acres are primarily open upland, maintained as old fields or cultivated to benefit wildlife. Farming techniques on the area are modified to enhance wildlife habitat, and old fields containing native vegetation are encouraged and maintained by disking and prescribed burning. A notable exception is the nearly 300 acres of broad flood plain, or bottomland, along Allen creek and the Roanoke River. Expect heavy hunting pressure during the dove season around the managmed dove fields. Waterfowl hunting is managed through the Departments Quota Hunt system, all other hunting is open - see WMA website for details. |
