Battle Run Campground is conveniently located just south of Summersville, West Virginia, on the shores of the largest lake in the state.
Superb water quality and sheer sandstone cliffs make Summersville Lake a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Recreation
The 2790-acre lake provides excellent boating, water skiing, swimming, and scuba diving.
Anglers will find large and smallmouth bass, walleye, panfish, and catfish. Trout are stocked below the dam in spring and fall.
