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. Altus Lugert WMA consists mainly of river bottom and slough areas with dense vegetation. 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.
Eagles winter at Lake Altus and can often be seen from the WMA.
Camping is not permitted on Altus Lugert WMA.
Fishing Opportunities:
Water levels dictate success. Spring can provide excellent white bass fishing while they are moving up river. Spring can also produce very good channel cat fishing in the main slough north of Hwy 9.
Hope you enjoy the area. Use caution as the roads can be quite muddy after a rain.
