AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES

WILDLIFE

The mixture of mature forest, farm fields, and fruit trees, coupled with the water supply from the spring and from little creek, create the perfect wildlife habitat. The “edge effect” created between streams, farm fields, and forests is the textbook habitat for the resident wildlife. The deer, bear and turkey population is particularly impressive. The edges create long wildlife food plots and The hardwood forest that produces tons of acorns, hickory nuts, beech nuts, walnuts, and soft mast. White-tail deer, black bear, red/gray fox, bobcat, wild turkey, squirrel, raccoon, fox, and many species of songbirds, eagles, owls, and hawks make up the resident wildlife population. It is hard to find a property that has a better mix of wildlife,

There are many animals around the edges of the little creek that flows year-round, and with the national forest almost completely surrounding the property but not touching, the hunting, biking, hiking, camping, and ATV riding just minutes away, make this a tremendous recreational property.

ANTHONY CREEK

Anthony Creek is literally within a short walking distance (1000 yds.) from this property. Anthony Creek is a 15 mile-long tributary of the Greenbrier River which flows through Greenbrier County before joining the Greenbrier River at the town of Anthony. The creek drains a watershed of approximately 34 square miles and is noted for its excellent trout fishery and recreational paddling opportunities. Reportedly, Anthony Creek is stocked from 1 mile below Big Draft Run upstream to 13 miles to Neola, West Virginia. Anthony Creek WV is stocked once in January two times in February and once a week from March to May. In addition, Anthony Creek West Virginia is stocked in the fall receiving 2 stockings in October of each year.

It is also a major contributor to the local ecosystem richness and diversity for both plants and animals. The creek and the surrounding aquatic plant life create a water supported community with a wide variety of wildlife. Some of creek margins are fringed by lowlands, and these lowlands support the aquatic food web, provide shelter for wildlife, and stabilize the banks. The plant life associated with the lowlands include, rushes, sedges, cattails, duckweed, bee balm and algae.

BLUE BEND

Blue Bend, located on State Route 16, near Alvon, West Virginia, is a beautiful setting along scenic Anthony Creek. Blue Bend is enjoyed by both overnight camping and daytime visitors, and is well known for fishing, swimming, hiking, and picnicking.

The Civilian Conservation Corps developed most of the trails at Blue Bend in the 1930’s. Trails include Anthony Creek Trail, which follows the creek in a narrow valley, Blue Bend Loop Trail which offers scenic overlooks and a shelter available for overnight use, and South Boundary Trail which travels from the Greenbrier River, fords Anthony Creek, then winds through the mountains.

GREENBRIER RIVER

Within just a few minutes’ drive or bike ride is the Greenbrier River. 162 miles long, the Greenbrier is the longest untamed (unblocked) river left in the Eastern United States. It is primarily used for recreational pursuits and well known for its fishing, canoeing, kayaking and floating opportunities. Its upper reaches flow through the Monongahela National Forest, and it is paralleled for 77 miles by the Greenbrier River Trail, a rail trail which runs between the communities of Cass and North Caldwell.

It has always been a valuable water route, with the majority of the important cities in the watershed being established river ports. The river gives the receiving waters of the New River an estimated 30% of its water volume. Over three-fourths of the watershed is an extensive karstic (cavern system), which supports fine trout fishing, cave exploration and recreation. Many important festivals and public events are held along the river throughout the watershed.

The Greenbrier is formed at Durbin in northern Pocahontas County by the confluence of the East Fork Greenbrier River and the West Fork Greenbrier River, both of which are short streams rising at elevations exceeding 3,300 feet and flowing for their entire lengths in northern Pocahontas County.

From Durbin the Greenbrier flows generally south-southwest through Pocahontas, Greenbrier and Summers Counties, past several communities including Cass, Marlinton, Hillsboro, Ronceverte, Fort Spring, Alderson, and Hinton, where it flows into the New River.

Along most of its course, the Greenbrier accommodated the celebrated Indian warpath known as the Seneca Trail (Great Indian Warpath). From the vicinity of present-day White Sulphur Springs, the Trail followed Anthony’s Creek down to the Greenbrier near the present Pocahontas-Greenbrier County line. It then ascended the River to the vicinity of Hillsboro and Droop Mountain and made its way through present Pocahontas County by way of future Marlinton, Indian Draft Run, and Edray.

GREENBRIER RIVER TRAIL

The 77-mile-long Greenbrier River Trail State Park is operated by the West Virginia State Parks and is a former C&O railroad grade now used for hiking, bicycling, ski-touring, horseback-riding, and wheel-chair use. The trail passes through numerous small towns and traverses 35 bridges and 2 tunnels as it winds its way along the valley. Most of the trail is adjacent to the free-flowing Greenbrier River and is surrounded by peaks of the Allegheny Mountains.

SIX RIVERS AND TWO LAKES

The property is located in the heart of a biological, historic, and recreational mecca.

The New River Gorge was a vast and largely unsettled wilderness until the C&O railroad was built on the eastern side of the river in the 1880’s. The railroad opened up the rich coalfields and virgin timber stands of the region. Early “mountaineers” settled the area and soon were carving out mountain farms and raising families.

All rivers and lakes are within a two hour’s drive from the property: area encompassing the New River, Greenbrier River, Gauley River, Cherry River, Meadow River and Bluestone River. Within this vast watershed lies the 2000-acre Bluestone Lake and 3000-acre Summersville Lake.

The rivers and lakes are major contributors to the local ecosystem richness and diversity for both plants and animals. There are many animals that live year round and at other times in the water and around the edges of the rivers/lake, including beavers, otters, minks, raccoons, opossums, blue herons, Canada geese, wood ducks, mallards, king fishers, minnows, native fish, turtles, salamanders, newts, crayfish, muskrats, bull frogs, eagles, owls, hawks and redwing blackbirds.

Great fishing is found in the river and lakes with small and large mouth bass, crappie, catfish, muskie, walleye, pike and bluegill present in good numbers.

The New River is the second oldest river in the world, preceded only by the Nile; it is the oldest river in North America. The New River is unique because it begins in Blowing Rock, N.C. and flows north through Virginia into West Virginia. The Nile and Amazon are the only other major rivers that also flow north. Year after year, it produces more citation fish than any other warm water river in WV. Smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, sunfish, hybrid striped bass, and muskie are all common species of fish found in the New River and Bluestone Lake.

Bluestone Lake is over 2000 acres at summer pool and is the state’s third largest body of water. Great hunting and fishing opportunities abound at the 17,632-acre Bluestone Wildlife Area adjacent to the park and nearby Camp Creek State Forest. Summersville Lake is over 3000 acres at summer pool and is the state’s largest body of water.

SNOWSHOE SKI & RESORT DESTINATION

From the property, Snowshoe Mountain Resort is an hour and 20 minutes’ drive and is among the most popular ski resorts in the east-central U.S. The resort, at 4848’ elevation, includes two ski areas, two terrain parks, and 57 downhill slopes that uniquely descend from the ski villages at the top of the mountain. The resort is also among the chief destinations for mountain biking in the Virginias. The International Mountain Bicycling Association has designated the Snowshoe Highland Ride Center as a silver-level destination. The resort boasts 23 restaurants and pubs, 34 lodges and cabin villages, and supports many off-mountain lodging venues year-round.
