Spruce Knob Lake

The highest peak in West Virginia, Spruce Knob, is west of Spruce Knob Lake Campground. Spruce Knob - Seneca Creek Backcountry, which has 60 miles of trails waiting to be explored, is also close by. Gatewood Campground is a nearby option for those seeking group camping.

Spruce Knob Lake offers fishing opportunities. The 25-acre lake was constructed in 1952 specifically for fishing, and the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources routinely stocks it with trout. Fishing is enjoyable for novice fishermen since there are so many little yet hungry bluegills near the beach. On the lake, electric trolling motors and non-motorized boats are both allowed. A small boat launch, a parking area, and vault restrooms are all present. Accessible from all directions is provided by a wooden pier along the shore. The Whispering Spruce Trail, which circles the lake, is a worthwhile hike. Additionally, it is the greatest location for taking in breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and its surroundings.
