The 17 Best Lakes in the US | Vogue

"As West Virginia’s largest lake, it offers over 2,700 surface acres of water and more than 60 miles of shoreline; adventurers can plunge one hundred feet deep to scuba dive through unique sandstone formations in clear freshwater, and if you prefer to keep your head above water, white-water rafting and kayaking are also popular options." - Nicole Kliest

Summersville Lake is a great place to visit. The Summersville Lake Dam is very impressive with high rock walls and the spillway below has a huge outlet. Drive down to the tailwaters for a different view of the dam. Nice campgrounds with boat access and kayak launch. Fun place to spend the day or weekend.

Such a beautiful Lake!! We did kayak and paddle boarding, it was the first time we were there so rentals recommended us to launch in Battle run which it’s a nice area bc it had a little beach and like an island. In some point were a lot of boats going so fast definitely got pretty wavy. We realized the amazing views of the lake of the big rocks and waterfalls were kind of far away in an area called Long Point so we definitely coming back another time to explore that area, but still we had a great time!

This place is beautiful. It has clean water, it is drained every year for the white water rafting and it refills from the melting of the snow and rain. An absolute attraction you must visit. There is a loading dock for your boat and you can fish all night. However, you can also fish on the docks provided.

Love the place. There are a lot of activities to perform. Hiking trails, camping sites, beach experience, beach volleyball, boating, fishing, canoeing and so on. I love to camp by the battle run campground. Don’t forgot to go on Long point trail hiking to see wonderful cliff. The beauty of the lake and the serenity always attract me. Love it.

Went swimming off the Whippoorwill road. Steep muddy short walk down to the water but totally worth it! We had so much fun swimming and climbing. Water was perfect. All around great time and free 😍
