Becky Creek Wildlife Management Area is located on 1,930 acres (780 ha)[1] south of Huttonsville in Randolph County, West Virginia. The terrain at Becky Creek is steep, and is covered with second-growth hardwood forest. Camping is permitted in the designated area. Camping is also available at nearby Kumbrabow State Forest.

Becky Creek derives its name from a local pioneer whose name is variously cited as either Becky or Beckay.[2]

Hunting and Trapping

Hunting opportunities include bear, deer, and turkey. Opportunities to trap for fur can include bobcat, fox and raccoon.[1]
