Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts who used the WMA are encouraged to visit the new Daniels Ridge WMA in Monroe County. This 3,376-acre area is located just west of the former Andrew Rowan Farm WMA, which is now managed by Sweet Springs Resort Park Foundation, Inc. in Gap Mills, W.Va. Moncove Lake WMA is also nearby.
