Wylie Island is a bar island on the New River in Summers County, West Virginia. It is located at Mile 20 near the very upstream end of Bluestone Lake.[1]
Under normal conditions the island is above water, but it is subject to flooding during high water events in the Bluestone Lake pool.[1] In drought conditions, the channel separating the island from the left-descending bank of the river sometimes dries up.[citation needed]
