The Wheeler Islands are a group of small islands located in the Ohio River in Pleasants County, West Virginia. They are situated near the town of St. Marys. The islands are primarily composed of sediment and vegetation and are subject to changes in size and shape due to erosion and deposition from the river's currents. They are generally uninhabited and may serve as habitat for various wildlife, including birds and other riverine species. Due to their small size and fluctuating environment, information readily available regarding their specific ecology and history is limited.
