About this unit
AI-compiled · sourcedSummers County anchors the New River Gorge region of southern West Virginia, where dramatic river gorges and rugged Appalachian ridges define the landscape. Whitetail deer and black bear both thrive in the heavily forested terrain, with the New River corridor adding unique access and hunting character. Turkey hunting is also productive across the surrounding ridgelines and wooded hollows.
Deeply cut river gorges along the New River and Greenbrier River corridors, flanked by steep forested ridges and remote hollows typical of southern WV.
Moderate — park proximity draws hunters but rugged terrain keeps pressure spread out across the landscape.
OTC; standard WV seasons and antler point restrictions apply.
Black bear populations are meaningful given proximity to the Appalachian core bear range; turkey are common on surrounding ridges; the New River corridor supports some waterfowl during migration.
Hunting in and around New River Gorge NP offers a rare combination of dramatic scenery and genuine wilderness hunting; the Greenbrier River drainage produces quality deer and bear.
