Reviews
- ★★★★★over 2 years agoI did a visit a couple days ago nice picnic area, boat launch and fishing area. To get to the boat launch area there is A fee. Not really much past that point but still a nice view.
- ★★★★★over 2 years agoThis is the 2nd year we've rented boats from sutton, it's a lot of fun or relaxing. Whichever you make it. The only reason I did 4 stars is because I feel if you're gonna advertise that your boat has a toilet..maybe make sure it's functional and not stinking up boats.
- ★★★★★over 4 years agoWe LOVE this place. It's our go to spot to get back to nature. Wonderful lake surrounded by beautifully treed mountains. This season boasts free to use life jackets and new, secured curtains in the changing area. Swim, fish, boat, or kayak. Truly something for everyone.
- ★★★★★about 2 years agoI recently attended a birthday party here at one of the pavilions on the hill above the lake. There is a breathtaking view from this area. There is also a small playground located right there with swings, a tubular playground set, and a spinner. A small sidewalk joins everything. The grounds were clean and the trash cans were empty with new bags. The kids really enjoyed it. There was water available at the pump. I'm assuming it's drinkable, but didn't try it as I just wasn't sure. I'd be interested in knowing if it is good to drink.
- ★★★★★over 1 year agoExcellent swimming "hole" in West Virginia! The clear water is comparable to the Caribbean Sea. You can swim right along with the fishes, and see every single one of 'em! West by God...Almost Heaven. It's BEAUTIFUL here!
