| Oak-hickory forest covers most of the 775 acre area, which ranges from
gently rolling hills to steep mountain sides with elevations from 2,503 to
3,100 feet. Old fields and wildlife openings are scattered throughout the
area. Hunting opportunities are best for deer, turkey, squirrel, grouse,
rabbit and waterfowl. Moncove Lake, 144 acres, provides warmwater fishing
for largemouth bass, bluegill and channel catfish. Boat motors are
restricted to 5 horsepower or less. All recreational facilities are part
of Moncove Lake State Park,
which is located along state Route 8/2 that circles the lake, and hunting
is prohibited within this area. Fifty campsites and the recreational
facilities are maintained by the DNR Parks and Recreation Section. A
camping fee is charged. Owned by WVDNR. |
