Barren Fork WMA consists of approximately 497 acres along the Barren Fork Creek in eastern Adair County and is located approximately 5 miles south of Westville, OK. Over a mile of this Ozark stream lies within the boundary of the WMA. The property consists predominantly of creek bottom habitat and hay meadows and has small sections of oak-hickory forest on the rolling, rocky, and relatively steep hills surrounding the creek. The average annual precipitation is about 41 inches. 

The Barren Fork Creek provides excellent year-round smallmouth fishing, some spotted and largemouth bass, and a variety of sunfish species. For more information about fishing the Barren Fork Creek, consult the Oklahoma Fishing Guide.
