About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedLewis County in central West Virginia centers on the massive Stonewall Jackson Lake, a Corps of Engineers impoundment that anchors significant public land and diverse hunting habitat around its wooded shoreline. Rolling mixed-hardwood hills support solid whitetail deer and wild turkey populations throughout the county. The combination of Corps lake land and scattered WMA tracts makes Lewis one of the more accessible counties for public-land hunters in the region.
Rolling Allegheny Plateau with mixed hardwood forest, agricultural bottomlands, and the 2,650-acre Stonewall Jackson Lake and surrounding Corps land
Moderate; Corps land absorbs pressure well across its acreage and the county lacks major population centers
OTC archery and firearm licenses; statewide antler restrictions require 3 points on one antler or 15-inch inside spread
Wild Turkey populations are strong in the mixed hardwood and agricultural interface; waterfowl hunting available on Stonewall Jackson Lake during fall migration
Stonewall Jackson Lake WMA provides one of the largest contiguous blocks of public hunting land in central WV; timber-framed agricultural edges around Corps land hold excellent deer
