Nathaniel Mountain Wildlife Management Area


Nathaniel Mountain Wildlife Management Area is located on south of Romney in Hampshire County, West Virginia. The wildlife management area's principle access road is off Grassy Lick Road. Nathaniel Mountain is owned by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, and is one of West Virginia's largest wildlife management areas. The WMA was expanded in November 2003 after the WVDNR purchased from the MeadWestvaco Corporation.
Nathaniel Mountain WMA is made up of three major mountains: Nathaniel Mountain, Piney Mountain, and South Branch Mountain. The WMA's forests are primarily dominated by mature species of oak, hickory, and Virginia pine. White-tailed deer, turkey, grouse, squirrel, and black bears are available for hunting.
Mill Run, a steep mountain stream that meanders through a seven-mile course to join the South Branch Potomac River, is also located in the Nathaniel Mountain WMA.
