East Lynn Lake

East Lynn Lake is situated in Wayne County, West Virginia that is 1,005 acres (4 km2) in size. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Huntington District, manages the lake as part of a number of flood control initiatives for the Ohio River basin. The settlement of Stiltner at the mouth of Brush Creek was completely destroyed during the construction of the lake. It also necessitated the relocation of a significant portion of West Virginia Route 37, which had previously followed the lake-inundated East Fork Twelvepole Creek valley.

In addition to carp and other non-native species, East Lynn Lake is home to 29 fish species that are native to southern West Virginia. The East Lynn Lake Wildlife Management Area, which oversees the lake and the surrounding land, is regularly filled by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.

The lake's wake-permitted and no-wake zones make it a favorite for both water skiing and fishing. A campground by the lake is one of many recreational places that the Army Corps of Engineers maintains. Near the dam, there is a marina as well.
