Canton WMA covers 14,877 acres in Blaine, Dewey, and Major Counties in northwest Oklahoma, located around Canton Lake (northwest of Canton, Oklahoma, or west of Longdale, Oklahoma).  Canton WMA is predominantly floodplain type habitat with some upland sites occurring toward the western end of the area.

Habitat varies on the area from postoak/blackjack cross timbers type habitat on the eastern end to sandsage grassland interspersed with sandplum, eastern red cedar, American elm, and black locust on the west end.  Much of the area adjacent to Canton Lake and the North Canadian River is densely vegetated bottomland habitat dominated by eastern cottonwood, black willow, buttonbush, and roughleaf dogwood. The average annual precipitation is about 27 inches.

From Canton: 1 mile west on State Hwy 51, 1½ miles north on State Hwy 58A, across Canton Dam. From Longdale: 1 mile west on county blacktop road (E0610).
