McClintic Wildlife Management Area — Attraction in West Virginia

Mothman! This is a well known place where the Mothman sightings were frequent and some of the best stories from the lore. The only thing left from the TNT area when the buildings were present are these storage bunkers where tnt was kept. There are several and you can walk in a straight line for a long time. I’m not sure how many remain but it’s enough to keep you occupied for a while. The echo and acoustics inside of the bunker is amazing. Endless hours of fun to be had with your voice in here.

The area is huge and if you keep driving down potters creek road you can get to the hill where UFOs were/are commonly seen over top of the hill. I haven’t personally seen anything but all of this is alleged to happen inside of the Mcclintic reserve. Otherwise it is a great place for a nature walk and the soy bean farms house endless deer and over wildlife that is commonly seen in the area. That is really cool also if you have. A sharper eye or they get spooked. Literally 20-30 deer will take off running it’s pretty majestic. So if you’re here for adventure this is a cool...

Now that's an experience!! We went to the place where Mothman was first spotted. Visited 3 Bunkers. It was the perfect cool rainy day to do some awesome creepy exploring. So muddy but so worth it. The bunkers we're pretty wild. The area is on the Environmental Protection Agenciess superfunded cleanup list for hazardous materials. In 2010 one of the bunkers mysteriously exploded with 15,000-20,000 pounds of TNT inside blasting the 6 inch concrete domed ceiling up in the air before imploding inwards. The area was shut down for a full sweep by the government to make sure they didn't miss anymore which is amazing it was missed for almost 5 decades in the first place!! We went to 3 of the 100 bunkers on the almost 3700 acre area. Some of them are privately owned but there's plenty to explore on your own. Enjoy the...

We came out here to see the TNT bunkers, which were awesome, but the wildlife area is gorgeous in and of itself. There are shallow turn-offs in a few spots on Potter's Road where you can park and walk down a gravel path into the area, though gates prevent driving down. The swamp was full of lily pads, blooms and birds. We saw lots of dragonflies, frogs and a few snakes. Come dressed for ticks, mosquitoes and muddy patches if you go far in, but otherwise it's an easy walk and the bunkers are quite close to the road. People have left an unfortunate amount of trash out there, but the brush is cut well back around each bunker entrance, presumably by the rangers. Don't give up if you don't see them immediately; they're pretty well camouflage d by trees, but the path with...
