OHIO
Gallia County
Wildlife Officer:
Mike McConnell
(740) 589-9983
Bordering
the Ohio River in Ohio's bountiful southeast, Gallia County has many
locations with access to river fishing.
Crown City Wildlife Area
The 11,136-acre area contains
approximately 4,000 acres of reclaimed openings with the remainder of the
property dominated by mixed growth forests. The old mining
operations at Crown City WA targeted exposed high ground such as ridge
tops. The area's ravines, ditches and draws were untouched. These
low-lying reaches are now forested, while the reclaimed lands are still
open ground. As a result, edge habitat is abundant. Hunters may
access the Crown City Wildlife Area via Rocky Fork Road, which is off
state Route 218 approximately four miles north of Crown City. For
maps or more information, contact the District Four office or the Cooper
Hollow Wildlife Area manager at (740) 682-7524.
