From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge (ORINWR) is a National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) extending along 362 miles (583 km) of the Ohio River in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The ORINWR was established in 1990 and consists of 3,354 acres (13.57 km²) of land and underwater habitat on 22 islands and three mainland properties. Prior to its establishment, West Virginia was the only state of the United States without a NWR.[citation needed] (It now has two).
