Summersville Lake, WV
These are photos from a trip to West Virginia. Summersville Lake is between Carnifex Ferry and Hawks Nest State Park. The area is said to be a speed trap but don't let that stop you from going. It offers spectacular scenery!
The lake was created in the 1960's as part of a flood-control project on the Gauley River. The dam is a rock-fill type, one of the largest of its kind. More information including recreation facilities is at the Army Corps of Engineers site.
