Land Acknowledgement:<\/strong><\/p>\nAHS acknowledges with gratitude that this project takes place on the traditional lands of the Moneton, S\u2019atsoyaha (Yuchi), and Shawandasse Tula (Shawanwaki\/Shawnee) peoples, past and present. We honor the land, the Indigenous communities who have stewarded it for generations, and those who continue this stewardship today. This land acknowledgement is a first step in our commitment to uplift Indigenous voices, and we invite the American Hiking Society community to continue learning about and supporting the Indigenous peoples whose lands we live, work, and recreate on.<\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"wild-and-wonderful-west-virginia-next-to-the-world-famous-greenbrier-resort","image":{"url":"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1000020929.jpg","id":54133,"extension":"jpg","width":1434,"height":1440,"filesize":219280,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":550,"height":552,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":36506,"url":"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1000020929-550x552.jpg"},"large":{"width":800,"height":803,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":72901,"url":"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1000020929-800x803.jpg"},"thumbnail":{"width":300,"height":300,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":12524,"url":"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1000020929-300x300.jpg"}}},"all_day":true,"start_date":"2026-10-04 00:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"10","day":"04","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2026-10-10 23:59:59","end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"10","day":"10","hour":"23","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"utc_start_date":"2026-10-04 04:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"10","day":"04","hour":"04","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2026-10-11 03:59:59","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2026","month":"10","day":"11","hour":"03","minutes":"59","seconds":"59"},"timezone":"America\/New_York","timezone_abbr":"EDT","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"","currency_code":"","currency_position":"","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":54041,"author":"50","status":"publish","date":"2025-12-14 13:00:30","date_utc":"2025-12-14 18:00:30","modified":"2026-01-14 09:50:25","modified_utc":"2026-01-14 14:50:25","url":"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/location\/white-sulphur-springs-national-fish-hatchery\/","venue":"White Sulphur Springs National Fish Hatchery","slug":"white-sulphur-springs-national-fish-hatchery","address":"1087 East Main Street","city":"White Sulphur Springs","country":"United States","state":"WV","zip":"24986","stateprovince":"WV","json_ld":{"@type":"Place","name":"White Sulphur Springs National Fish Hatchery","description":"","url":"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/location\/white-sulphur-springs-national-fish-hatchery\/","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","streetAddress":"1087 East Main Street","addressLocality":"White Sulphur Springs","addressRegion":"WV","postalCode":"24986","addressCountry":"United States"},"telephone":"","sameAs":""},"show_map":true,"show_map_link":true,"global_id":"americanhiking.org?id=54041","global_id_lineage":["americanhiking.org?id=54041"]},"organizer":[{"id":42173,"author":"9","status":"publish","date":"2019-12-11 13:45:42","date_utc":"2019-12-11 18:45:42","modified":"2019-12-11 13:45:42","modified_utc":"2019-12-11 18:45:42","url":"https:\/\/americanhiking.org\/host\/us-fish-wildlife-service\/","organizer":"US Fish & Wildlife Service","slug":"us-fish-wildlife-service","json_ld":{"@type":"Person","name":"US Fish & Wildlife Service","description":"","url":"","telephone":"","email":"","sameAs":""},"global_id":"americanhiking.org?id=42173","global_id_lineage":["americanhiking.org?id=42173"]}],"custom_fields":{"_ecp_custom_3":{"label":"Project Rating","value":"Easy"},"_ecp_custom_4":{"label":"Trip Accommodations","value":"Car Camping Tent Sites"},"_ecp_custom_5":{"label":"Accommodations Description","value":"Volunteers will car camp with direct access to a full kitchen with potable water and full bathroom facilities (including shower).
