Review:
Lake Moomaw is a magnificent lake spanning over 2,500 acres that offers a year-round outdoor wonderland with a variety of recreational opportunities.
Nestled in the Allegheny Highlands just north of Covington in the Shenandoah Valley region in western Virginia, the lake is surrounded by the George Washington National Forest and is a scenic outdoor paradise.
Boasting 43 miles of undeveloped forested shoreline, the lake offers a wealth of land and water-based activities, from hiking, mountain biking, nature trails, and wildlife watching to boating, fishing, swimming, and kayaking.
Visitors can enjoy a plethora of natural sites around the lake such as the Gathright Wildlife Management Area, Douthat State Park, George Washington and Jefferson National Forests, and the Humpback Bridge – the only arched single-span covered bridge in the country.
