Teter Creek Lake WMA (137 acres) Barbour County. Located nine
miles north of Belington. Access is by way of county Route 9 from
state Route 92 at Meadowville. Teter Creek lies in the Allegheny
Plateau and has an average elevation of 1,800 feet. Vegetation
consists of oak-hickory forests on gentle slopes, abandoned
farmlands and mixed conifer plantations. Squirrel, turkey,
waterfowl, ruffed grouse, raccoon and deer are the principal game
species. HUNTING IS LIMITED DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE AREA. Teter
Creek Lake, 35 acres, provides fishing for trout and warmwater
species such as largemouth bass, rock bass, bluegill and channel
catfish. A boat launch ramp and physically challenged fisherman
trail are located on the area. A campground with twenty tent and
trailer sites includes charcoal grills, well water, picnic tables
and pit toilets. Nominal fees are charged for camping and firewood.
Owned and managed by the WVDNR. (From the WV DNR website)
As with WVDan’s original Teter Creek Lake cache, park at the
boat launch area and hike across the concrete side walk to the
trail on the other side of the dam. Follow this trail until you
come to another unmarked trail that runs up the hill at N 39°
06.514 W 079° 52.487. If you follow this trail and come to a
well maintained fence, do not cross the fence. It is the
boundary of the WMA. Just follow the fence to the north (right) to
get around it.
Even though hunting is limited, as mentioned above, please use
proper precautions during hunting season. I saw quite a bit of deer
sign while searching for the hiding spot and feel confident this
area IS hunted.
The cache is a 30 cal. Ammo box.
