Spruce Knob Lake
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Spruce Knob Lake is a scenic 25-acre impoundment near the highest point in West Virginia, offering quality trout fishing in a remote high-elevation setting within the Monongahela National Forest. The lake is regularly stocked with rainbow trout and holds some carryover fish that grow to impressive sizes in the cold, clear water. Bank fishing and small non-motorized boats are the primary access methods, with the surrounding spruce forest providing a stunning backdrop.
