Woodrum Lake Wildlife Management Area, is located about 3 mi east of Romance, West Virginia in Jackson County. Woodrum Lake WMA is located on 1696 acre of hilly oak-hickory hardwood lots mixed with abandoned farmland.

Built in 1988 by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service to protect Middle Fork Creek, the 240 acre lake was drained in order to repair the dam and correct a lock mechanism jammed by a sunken log in 2005. Repaired, refilled and restocked, it is now again popular with bass and muskellunge as well as panfish (bluegill, crappie and catfish) anglers. Trout are not stocked. Trolling boats are permitted, with a maximum of 10 horsepower.

Deer, waterfowl and small game can also be hunted, with permit and seasonal restriction. Camping is not permitted.

Access to Woodrum Lake WMA is by County Route 42 (Romance-Advent Road) from Romance, or by County Route 19 from Kentuck.
