The Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area is a 6,000-acre (24 km²) Wildlife Management Area located in Lancaster and Lebanon counties, Pennsylvania.^[1] It is managed by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

The area lakes seasonally get up to 100,000 migrating snow geese.^[2] The largest of the lakes was created by a dam built in the early 1970s, and covers 360 acres (150 ha). The Horse-Shoe Trail goes through the area just south of the main impoundment dam.
