This WMA got its name from the town Ethel. Up until the 90s, this land was only accessible to people who lived in Ethel.
There is no camping on this WMA.
Ethel WMA comprises 176 acres in Arkansas County. The area was formerly managed for agriculture, but was transferred to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission through the Farmers Home Administration. This area is composed of early successional hardwoods intermixed with older bottomland hardwoods.
The area is best known for its small game hunting potential, but offers limited archery hunting for deer.
There are no active management practices at this time.
