The Barbours Creek Wilderness area covers the southeastern slope of Potts Mountain in northern Craig County. You'll have a chance to find solitude here in a hardwood forest interspersed with yellow pine. Some hemlock and white pine grow in the drainages, including the major cross-Wilderness waterway, Lipes Branch, in which you may catch native brook trout. Barbours Creek itself is a popular trout-fishing spot. Much of the year the area is colored with flowering vegetation.

Primitive camping is available at the Pines Campground where 17 large primitive sites under a forested canopy are available.
