The French Creek Wildlife Area is a 3,506 acres (1,419 ha) tract of protected land located in Columbia County and Marquette County, Wisconsin, managed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR).

[2] Land to be used for the wildlife area was first acquired in 1947 to provide for increased production of wildfowl and hunting opportunities.

The French Creek North Natural Area is a 1,439 acres (582 ha) exclave of the wildlife area consisting of mostly wetland and some shallow open water sections.

[4] There are 14 different types of cover in the wildlife area, including agriculture, aspen, central hardwood, developed, forested wetland, grassland, marsh, oak woodland, shrub wetland, tamarack, upland conifer, upland shrub, water, and the most common, sedge meadows.

The wildlife area is otherwise dominated by sedges, a grass-like plant.
