Izaak Walton League of America – Randolph County, West Virginia 

Welcome to the online home of the Mountaineer Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America! We're proud to serve as stewards of over 1,100 acres of West Virginia’s beautiful mountain land, just five miles east of Beverly, WV, along the headwaters of Files Creek.

Founded in 1956, our chapter is home to over 300 dedicated members committed to the wise and sustainable use of our natural resources. We are especially focused on educating youth, passing on conservation values through hands-on outdoor programs, events, and mentorship.

Our Chapter currently offers:

• Catch-and-release fishing for members and families in our stocked pond — trout and/or catfish, twice a year

• Prime hunting grounds over 1,100 forested acres

• Shooting range about a mile down the road from the clubhouse, available to club members

• Youth activities focused on conservation, marksmanship, and outdoor skills

Our Mission Statement of the Izaak Walton League, Inc.
