The Obion County Tennessee WMA is a 1,577-acre site dominated by early successional habitat. Extensive acreage of reforestation is present across the site that borders the Obion River. Access is via gravel roads. Early successional specialists such as Prairie Warbler, Field Sparrow, and Common Yellowthroat are common in summer. Mississippi Kites are present in late spring through mid-August. If there is standing water in low, wet areas, egrets and herons may be abundant. Wildlife that can be seen varies greatly with the water levels of the Obion River.
