West Virginia State Wildlife Center, Wildlife center in French Creek, United States
The West Virginia State Wildlife Center spans 338 acres of hardwood forest, featuring a 1.25-mile trail that displays 29 regional animal species.
In 1923, the French Creek Game Farm began as a breeding facility for native wildlife, transforming into the West Virginia State Wildlife Center in 1986.
French Creek Freddie, residing at the center since 1978, serves as West Virginia's official weather-forecasting groundhog each February.
The center operates from April through October between 9 AM and 5 PM, with admission fees of 4 dollars for adults and 2 dollars for children.
The center maintains specialized enclosures that allow animals to display natural behaviors while visitors observe them from an accessible interpretive trail.
