Jennings Randolph Lake

 





This is the new building that was being built at Jennings Randolph Lake, formed from the damming of the North Branch Potomac River, which separates West Virginia from Maryland. These pictures feature sights at Shaw Beach and Howell Run Picnic Area. Because of the construction, access to the Waffle Rock and West Virginia Overlook and administrative offices was closed off.

Skyline Overlook

 





The Skyline Overlook is located in the town of Skyline, West Virginia, at the corner of SR 42 (Elk Garden Highway) and US 50 (Northwestern Turnpike). There's not much here but what looks like a county highway department, a wedding venue, and a souvenir marketer. The views are fairly expansive, however, and a prominent ridgeline can be seen in the distance with two more even further away.

Mount Storm Scenic Overlook

 





The Mount Storm Scenic Overlook is located on Mount Storm Lake across from the Mount Storm Power Station along SR 93 just over 7 miles from Mt. Storm (the town). There's a boat ramp here along with some very good views of the lake, power station, and the dam which creates the lake on the Stony River.

Fred Long Centennial Park

 





Fred Long Centennial Park is located in West Virginia on US 48/219 between Thomas and Parsons, one mile from Tucker County High School. The facilities here need some attention, but the views are gorgeous.
