Poison Springs WMA is located entirely in the West Gulf Coastal Plain Physiographic Region. Most of the tracts are of an Upland habitat type and are characterized by pine and upland oaks, rolling hills, sandy soils, and small streams. The area is located 25 miles west of Camden on state hwy 24. There are green WMA signs posted at the entrance of the larger tracts. Quail hunting is fair near old fields, clearcuts and wildlife openings.
Rabbit hunting is fair in old fields and clearcuts.
Squirrel hunting is fair to good. Hardwood species are retained in draws and along streams. Some pine stands are subjected to prescribed fire to reduce fuel loads and control woody brush. The lake is noted for its bass, bluegill, crappie and catfish. Eagles and many other interesting migratory bird species may be seen around the lake in the fall and winter.
