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

Starlite Escape 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.

Rock Climbing - Along the gorge of the Meadow River between Fayetteville and Summersville, WV, the Meadow River Climbing area is one of the fastest growing climbing areas in West Virginia. More than 450 routes ascend its highly featured cliffs of Nuttall Sandstone, which also outcrops in the nearby New River Gorge and Summersville Lake climbing areas. Much of the Meadow River climbing area is still being explored, which is part of its allure.

The Summersville Lake Climbing Area overlooks the largest lake in West Virginia, Summersville Lake, which is located just south of Summersville, WV. More than 350 routes ascend the cliffs that tower as high as 100 feet above its clear blue waters.

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.

Stargazing-Planet Observation

Total or near total darkness can be still be found on the property, thereby affording the opportunity to view the night sky in all its brilliant wonder. The night sky is filled spectacular cosmic treasures, from the moon and other planets to distant stars and galaxies.
