Short Mountain WMA is a ridge-and-woodlands area offering secluded forest scenes, ridgeline vistas, seasonal foliage and wildlife (deer, turkey, songbirds). Best for landscape and nature photography at sunrise/sunset and during fall color. Rural access with small pull-off parking and unpaved trails; pack boots and insect repellent. No fees but follow West Virginia DNR rules and hunting-season caution; check local regulations before visiting.
