Fort Boise Lake Wildlife Management Area at 1,630 acres (6.6 km²) is an Idaho wildlife management area in Canyon County near Parma.^[1] It was established in 1956 when 330 acres (130 ha) were deeded to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game by Idaho Power Company.^[2]

The WMA's wetlands are within the Boise and Snake rivers' floodplains and were originally used to replace goose nesting islands on the Snake River flooded by the Brownlee Dam.^[3] The shallow water and thick vegetation attract waterfowl and wildlife watchers and hunters.^[4]
