Spice Run Wilderness, Wilderness area in West Virginia, United States.
The Spice Run Wilderness extends across 6,030 acres within the Monongahela National Forest, featuring dense forests and numerous mountain streams at elevations between 2,000 and 2,800 feet.
The land belonged to the Spice Run Lumber Company in the early 1900s before the US Forest Service acquired it in the 1920s and integrated it into Monongahela National Forest.
Named after the native Lindera benzoin shrub, the wilderness preserves natural habitats for 230 bird species and nine federally protected animal species within its boundaries.
Access requires either fording the Greenbrier River, hiking from Calvin Price State Forest, or using high-clearance vehicles on Greenbrier County Route 16 to reach the southeastern section.
The area contains three significant watersheds - Spice Run, Davy Run, and Kincaid Run - supporting native brook trout populations in their cold mountain waters.
