Sleepy Creek Lake

One of the best lakes to visit in West Virginia is Sleepy Creek Lake. The entire 83 hectare Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area contains this lake. It is a beautiful lake encircled by an oak and pine forest.

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) built Sleepy Creek Lake, which was finished in 1962. In 1964, the lake's fishing season began. In 1989, the WVDNR started stocking the reservoir with the northern pike. The 23,000-acre (90 km2) Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area, which is located in both Morgan and Berkeley counties, has a reservoir known as Sleepy Creek Lake, which is situated at a height of 1,099 feet (335 m).

A lake is a great place for fishing due to the presence of largemouth bass, northern pike, bluegill, and crappie. On the lake, only electric motorboats are permitted, and night fishing is not permitted.

Sleepy Creek Lake has three campgrounds along its eastern coast, all of which are located there. There are a total of 75 primitive camping areas available to those who want to spend the night.
