The Mountain State is full of beauty and one place that particularly stands out is a crystal clear lake in Nicholas County. This lake is West Virginia’s largest and it has even earned the nickname: The Little Bahamas of the East. Known as being the clearest freshwater lake east of the Mississippi, this stunning body of water is a refreshing treasure.
Summersville Lake has over 2,700 acres of water and 60 miles of magnificent shoreline. This gem is a summertime hot spot for water recreation of all kinds and is a beautiful destination all year long.
Surrounded by jagged cliffs, lush foliage, and rolling hills, you can't beat the natural scenery at this West Virginia lake.
Because the water is so clear, this lake is a popular destination for scuba diving and snorkeling. Explore the depths of the water with incredible visibility.
As you descend to check out the rock formations deep below the surface, you'll be able to see 20-45 feet around you, an incredible feat in a freshwater lake.
Of course, the clear and warm waters beckon other water enthusiasts. Spend the day paddling along the surface for an expedition you won't forget.
And for those looking to take the plunge, this water is a pure joy to swim in. When you're seeking a break from it all, Summersville Lake is calling your name.
