Remotely located in central Allegany County, Warrior Mountain WMA's 5,048 acres of forest blanket the ridge and stream valley topography which is typically found in Western Maryland. At the peak of Warrior Mountain, a power line clearing overlooks a spectacular view of the surrounding terrain. Warrior Mountain WMA has served for many years as an outdoor wildlife classroom for students from grade school through college. Abandoned farms and cemeteries, some dating back to the mid-19th century, dot the landscape and old roads, perfect for a day's hike, wind through the forest. Photographers will find picture-perfect scenery and sometimes cooperative wildlife to capture for future memories. A primitive campground on this WMA provides overnight accommodations for hardy hunters during the fall and winter. Hunters will enjoy an excellent day afield pursuing wild turkeys, white-tailed deer and gray squirrels. Wild turkeys were here long before the earliest American settlers. In the spring, gobblers fill the air with their familiar calls, as they advertise for a mate. Throughout the spring and summer, warblers, vireos, tanagers and other brightly colored songbirds nest in the extensive forest. Visitors will see flashes of yellow, red, blue and green among the trees through the dark shadows and dappled sunlight.
