• Wildlife Viewing

  Wildlife Viewing

  Elk Management Tours are planned in 2022. After more than a 100-year absence from the Mountain State, elk are making a comeback in West Virginia and you have a chance to see these incredible animals in a natural habitat. There is some hiking involved for this tour experience.

  Our elk tours are the best way to learn about the history of elk management in West Virginia and gain insight into what the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources is doing to make sure the growing elk herd thrives in its new home.

  Tours are offered in the fall and start at Chief Logan Lodge. Spots book up fast, so you’ll want to make a reservation as soon as possible. While there is no guarantee you will see or hear elk, state park naturalist and tour leader Lauren Cole has made these tours a fun and a learning experience you don’t want to miss!
