The past whispers to visitors of Indian Springs WMA, even as they enjoy the scenic beauty and wildlife of the present landscape. Native Americans, leaving their stone tools and arrowheads behind, gave way to pioneering settlers. Fairview Mountain, located on the area, served as a Civil War military signal post. Today, Indian Springs WMA's 6,400 acres are a wildlife haven and a source of outdoor adventure and recreation.
Directions:
From I-70, take the Clear Spring exit and travel north on Route 68. Cross Old Route 40, bearing left onto Mill Street. Continue to a fork and bear right onto Broadfording Road going east approximately 1 mile. Take the first left onto Blair's Valley Road. The entrance to the WMA is approximately 3 miles north. For more information, contact the Indian Springs Wildlife Office at (301) 842-2702.
