McClintic Wildlife Management Area: public WVDNR land (~3,655 acres) for hunting/fishing/wildlife recreation — camping not permitted per DNR listing; follow WMA rules. Use WVDNR pages for WMA directions rather than inventing bunker pins. No trespass on adjacent private parcels. Museum navigation: street-address Maps link only (no invented museum decimal). McClintic WMA: WVDNR directions only — no WMA centroid pin. Open in Google Maps (address query): https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=400+Main+St%2C+Point+Pleasant%2C+WV+25550
Safety & respect
WMA active hunting seasons — wear blaze as appropriate. Do not break into residual bunkers or structures. Festival crowds are a separate civic event already filed elsewhere on the ledger.
Lore note
1966–67 winged-humanoid reports; Silver Bridge cultural memory; museum preserves press and eyewitness materials. ‘TNT area’ refers to historic McClintic / WWII explosives-storage landscape now managed as a WMA.

Point Pleasant keeps the winged legend on Main Street where a museum ticket and a stainless-steel statue meet ordinary downtown sidewalks. McClintic WMA is the legal public landscape tied to the old TNT-area reports — wildlife rules, not bunker urbex.
Archivist’s margin
Walk the museum. If you visit the WMA, follow DNR regs. Biology stays folklore; civic ritual and press history are what you can count.
