Lee Kay Wildlife Management Area: Habitat conservation and field dog training area. (Click to enlarge.)

The Lee Kay Wildlife Management Area northwest of the Lee Kay Public Shooting Range contains approximately 934 acres for public use, including dog training, exercise and bird-watching. It is, in fact, the largest publicly-accessible area for dog training in Utah. Over 221 bird species have been identified in the area, including 18 rare bird species.

Beginning May 7, 2025, you will need a valid hunting, fishing or combination license to access and use the Lee Kay WMA, including the dog training area. (The license will replace the fee for the Bluetooth lock.) The license requirement will be in effect for everyone, regardless of when you last paid the Bluetooth lock fee.

If you would like to access the conservation/training area by using the Bluetooth lock at the vehicle access gate, please fill out and submit the application below.

What to expect once you've submitted the application:

• Once we receive your application indicating that you have a current Utah hunting, fishing or combination license, we will process your application and create a user account for you on the Master Lock Vault Enterprise app. (Download the app for free.)
• To access the WMA, go to the entry gate and open the app on your mobile device. Please do not pull on the padlock at the gate before you follow these steps: Press the center button on the padlock, then tap the blue key icon in the app. Once the padlock clicks and the center button changes color, the padlock can be opened.
• If/when your hunting, fishing or combination license expires, please resubmit this form with your new expiration date to continue Bluetooth access.
• Note: There is no longer a separate $10 user fee for Master Lock Vault Enterprise app access.
• Important: Even if you access the WMA using the Master Lock Vault Enterprise app, you will need to carry proof of your valid hunting, fishing, or combination license. Law enforcement may issue a citation if you access the WMA without a valid license.
