Nathaniel Mountain Wildlife Management Area
Rugged high-elevation forest, ridgelines and small meadows offering panoramic views, intimate streamside scenes and seasonal wildlife (deer, turkey, songbirds). Best for fall color and golden-hour ridge shots; dawn yields mist and active animals. Access is by gravel logging roads and short hikes from parking at small trailheads—check WV DNR WMA rules (seasonal hunting/permit info) before visiting. Limited facilities; dress for changeable mountain weather and bring insect protection in summer.
