Summit Lake (West Virginia)

Summit Lake is a 43-acre (170,000 m2) cold water reservoir located in Greenbrier County, West Virginia in the Gauley Ranger District of the Monongahela National Forest.

In times of drought when the Cherry River becomes too shallow, the lake can be used to supply Richwood's municipal water system.

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources also stocks the lake with trout several times per year.

The Cranberry River, a popular trout stream, can be accessed via a somewhat-steep two-mile (3 km) hike along Fisherman's Trail.

There are several other hiking trails of varying degrees of difficulty in proximity to Summit Lake, including one that circumnavigates the entire body of water.
