  • In the late fall I ventured back to McDonough Wildlife Refuge in Vienna West Virginia to get in a quick day hike. I combined the zig zag loop and a section of the main trail for a beautiful 4 mile hike.
    McDonough Wildlife Refuge is 277 acre wildlife refuge nestled in the city of Vienna in Wood County West Virginia and offers many options for short and longer day hikes and even a concrete walking path if desired. They also have shelters available by reservation. There are also two beautiful ponds to stop at and enjoy nature. Though you're in the city you often feel like you've left it. They do a wonderful job maintaining the trails here and I highly recommend the park for anyone looking to get a nice day hike or trail run in.

    Beautiful area for hiking. It’s always nice when you don’t see anyone on a day hike. Feels like you have the whole forest to yourself. Cool video

    Its nice to find places others don't like to go. Nice video. Thank you for sharing.

      Actually this place can get fairly crowded. I went on a weekday which helps a lot with that and by the end had it too myself (beginning was quite the opposite). Thanks for watching and commenting...really appreciate it!

    I did almost that exact loop not long ago and like you there were too many cars in the parking lot. However I only ran into one couple at those stairs and that was it, not another soul around. Just some deer. Great video, keep ‘em coming.

      Thanks man! I appreciate it. I think a lot of people stick to only the main loop or the concrete walking path.
