Otter Creek Wildlife Management Area WMA is a 1,221-acre tract that is owned by the State of Vermont and managed by the Vermont Fish Wildlife Department. It is located along the Mount Tabor-Danby town line in Rutland County. The vast majority lies in the town of Mount Tabor, with a small sliver of land in Danby. The property consists of three parcels two are located approximately one and one-half miles north of Danby. The other is one mile south of Danby. There is an improved parking lot and a couple of pullouts along Route 7 which provide access to the WMA.

Samuel de Champlain named Otter Creek La Riviere aux Loutres the river with otters. Mohawk Indians called it Dawinehneh at the abode of the otters, and an Abnaki name for the river meant little river of otters. The river has been known throughout history for its abundant river otters, and they are still present today.

Otter Creek WMA was formerly farm and pastureland. Most of the land was acquired in the mid-1960s from several different owners, such as the Bakers, Nielsons, Crosbys and Griffiths. Over half of the WMA was acquired with Land and Water Conservation Funds LWCF, with the remaining acreage purchased with hunting license revenues.
