For the kids, we can recommend a neaby trout farm for some serious catching. Mountain Meadows Farm, located in Scherr, WV, is a great place to land some beautiful trout on 2 stocked fishing ponds. The friendly staff and beautiful location make it worth the trip. The kids will love it!


Besides fantastic fishing opportunities, some of the best hunting in West Virginia is in Monongahela National Forest.
