BASS FISHING
There are a few great locations to fish for Smallmouth Bass nearby.
The South Branch River Smoke Hole Canyon section is a considered by many to be one of the most beautiful areas
in West Virginia. The remote, rugged landscape provides a unique recreation experience while you are fishing.
It contains large and smallmouth bass.
The South Branch River from the old dam to the gap bridge is a good section of water for small mouth bass.
It can be accessed by a canoe or boat, as well as a few public access points.
The South Branch River from the Gap Bridge to the Fisher bridge is managed as Catch and Release for bass.
It is a 9 mile section of stream that is easiest to access by a canoe or small boat. This section of river
has a public access 4 1/2 mile take out just past the Valley View Golf Course.
 HUNTING
Harman's is a great base camp for access to the Monongahela National Forest, including Dolly Sods Wilderness, Smoke
Hole, and Spruce Knob. Our Hopeville Canyon Section provides direct access to the North Fork Mountain Region of
the National Forest.
Bow Hunting for Whitetails is highly recommended during early November. Harman’s consistently will offer reduced
rates and specials for bow hunters. The surrounding public assess hunting areas are underutilized during bow season.
Thousands of acres of prime white tail hunting are available with very few hunters.
