PROPERTY TYPE/USE SUMMARY

Forest/Timber Resources

Forest-wide, the wooded area is fully stocked, providing the next ownership with a great deal of flexibility in shaping their own silvicultural legacy. Stem quality forest-wide can be considered excellent with the forest containing current or future timber value.

The forest is healthy and there are no signs of pest infestations of Gypsy Moth. The Emerald Ash Borer and the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid could be present which may result in the majority of the ash and hemlock trees becoming severely stressed over the next decade. There have been no forest fires in the recent memory.

Recreation

The Dorsey Retreat offers unparalleled recreational opportunities. Numerous recreational activities are anchored by nearby Summersville Lake, New River National Park and Preserve and the Monongahela National Forest.

Water-sports enthusiasts will find these waters ideal for boating, whitewater rafting, swimming, canoeing, fishing, kayaking, tubing, snorkeling, paddle boarding and windsurfing.

Fishing - Great fishing is found in Summersville Lake and the New River with bass (largemouth, smallmouth and rock), flathead catfish, channel catfish, muskie and bluegill present in good numbers. The Cherry and Cranberry Rivers in the Monongahela National Forest offer some of the best trout fishing in West Virginia. These waters are stocked with beautiful rainbow, brook, and golden trout several times throughout the spring months and stocked in the fall as well.

Nature viewing is first in line of recreational activities. Attentive wildlife management has been geared not to just larger animals. Equal consideration has been extended to increasing the numbers and diversity of species including neo-tropical songbirds, butterflies, turtles, frogs, rabbits, chipmunks, dragonflies, owls, eagles, and hawks. White tail deer, black bear, beaver, red/gray fox, bobcat, wild turkey, grouse, duck, squirrel, raccoon, fox, and rabbit make up the resident wildlife population. It is hard to find an area that has a better mix of wildlife.
