Fish Creek Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fish Creek Island is a 48-acre island on the Ohio River in Marshall County, West Virginia. The island is located across the river from Captina, West Virginia, south of Moundsville, and north of the mouth of Fish Creek, from which it takes its name.
Previously owned by CONSOL Energy Inc., Fish Creek Island was donated by CONSOL to the Nature Conservancy to protect the island's habitat for its rare great blue herons. The bar is West Virginia's largest great blue heron rookery.
