BEAR TRACK CABIN is a 32 +/- acre property located in Monroe County, West Virginia, just 3 miles from the Moncove Lake Wildlife Management Area.

Moncove Lake State Forest offers a swimming beach, fishing, boating, and in-ground swimming pool, hunting, hiking and many other activities. The cabin is set up for a hunting lodge that could very well be transformed into a vacation home, with kitchen, bath, living room and dining room, together with two large bedrooms in the loft of the cabin. The cabin is wired for electricity, but no on-site electricity is available, and the power sources would need to come from solar power or a generator. There is a well on the property that can either work with electricity or by hand pump. There is a large deck on the back of the cabin that overlooks the Jefferson National Forest in the distance. The cabin is located approximately two miles off Rt. 8, which goes to Moncove Lake and is very secluded and private.

WILDLIFE

Years of progressive wildlife management practices by the State of West Virginia at nearby Moncove Lake Wildlife Management Area have created an essential wildlife preserve. Early on, MLWMA goals promoted overall wildlife health, facilitated the harvest of game, developed wildlife viewing areas, increased carrying capacity, and increased species diversity.

The Bear Trak Cabin property has a mixture of mature hardwood species. The diverse tree species, coupled with abundant water supply from the seasonal creeks and springs, create a perfect wildlife habitat. The creeks, hollows, ridges, rock outcroppings and forest, are the textbook habitat benefiting all the resident wildlife, bald eagles, whitetail deer, black bear, wild turkey, squirrels, rabbits, bobcats, raccoons, foxes and many species of songbirds, owls, and raptors make up the resident wildlife population. The hardwood forest provides an essential nutrient source and produces tons of hard mass including acorns, hickory nuts, beechnut, and black walnuts. Soft mass includes sage horns, black cherry, tulip poplar seeds, maple seeds, autumn olive berries, and blackberries.
