Watoga Lake

Watoga Lake is a reservoir located in the Watoga State Park in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. It was created in 1905 by damming the Greenbrier River to provide drinking water for the nearby town of Marlinton. The lake is about 11 acres in size and is surrounded by dense forest, making it a popular spot for fishing and nature enthusiasts. There are several hiking trails that lead to the lake, and visitors can also rent paddleboats and canoes to explore the tranquil waters. The park also offers camping facilities, picnic areas, and a variety of other recreational activities.
