About this Location

Altus Lugert WMA covers 3,600 acres of Greer and Kiowa counties in southwest Oklahoma. The area lies adjacent to and north of Lake Altus and primarily north of Hwy 9 between Lone Wolf and Granite. Altus Lugert WMA consists mainly of river bottom and slough areas with dense vegetation. Slough areas are dominated by cattail and other aquatic species. Bottomland areas are heavily wooded with cottonwood, American elm, willow, Kentucky coffee, honey locust, cedar and saltcedar. A limited amount of mixed/tallgrass prairie interspersed with sandplum lies in the northeast portion of the area. Average annual precipitation is 26 inches.

The north fork of the Red River flows through the area. Water levels in the river and sloughs can vary between heavily flooded and dry. Occasional high lake levels back water into the WMA and create areas of flooded timber, resulting in excellent wetland habitat for waterfowl.
