T. M. Gathright Wildlife Management Area, Douthat State Park

T. M. Gathright Wildlife Management Area is a 13,428-acre Wildlife Management Area in Bath County, Virginia. The property's mountainous terrain includes elevations ranging from 1,400 to 3,600 feet above sea level, and is divided by 2,530-acre Lake Moomaw. The northwest boundary is marked at the crest of Allegheny Mountain, along the border between Virginia and West Virginia; additional mountains include Bolar Mountain to the west of the lake, and Coles Mountain to its east. A number of streams flow eastward from the summit, terminating at Mill Creek. The primary habitat is upland hardwood forest including mixed stands of oak and hickory, with tulip poplar in some of the more fertile areas. Small non-forested openings are also maintained for the benefit of wildlife. ()
