SUMMERSVILLE LAKE


'Summersville Lake' is a man-made reservoir located in the US state of West Virginia. The lake is formed by an earthen impoundment (Summersville Dam) of the Gauley River, south of Summersville in Nicholas County.
The lake was constructed between 1960 and 1966 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in order to control flooding along the Gauley River and the Kanawha River. The lake also serves as a recreation area for fishing, boating, as well as snorkling and scuba diving.
