Market Lake Wildlife Management Area at 5,071 acres (20.52 km²) is an Idaho wildlife management area in Jefferson County north of the town of Roberts.^[1] The WMA was established in 1956 to restore a portion of Market Lake for migrating and breeding waterfowl.^[2]

Water in the WMA comes from natural springs and artesian wells beneath the igneous rock.^[3] Mammals seen in the WMA include mule and white-tailed deer and small numbers of moose.^[4]

The former namesake lake, Market Lake, once was such a favorite hunting ground of wildlife, that the hunters referred to it as their "market", hence the name. The lake was later drained and the lake bed converted into agricultural land.^[5]
