Fishpond Lake is always a pleasure to visit. This lake is so wonderful. There's so much to do here at Fishpond Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Laurel Fork Campground is a great place for that, and if you need a place to stay SUPER 8 MOTEL - WHITESBURG is a glorious choice. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Powell River, and Raven Rock Golf Course is a golf course close by. And if that's not enough, there's heaps more to do close to Fishpond Lake.

 | 17 miles away I have been doing climate research on the High Knob massif, the great landform upon which many of these whitewater runs are listed for in Wise-Scott counties of Virginia, for some 20 years. This is a high precipitation area ( although 2007 has been the driest on record with 40''-46'' so far ) that tends to average 60''-70'' per year amid the mid-upper elevations ( 2500-3000+ feet ) along the Wise-Scott border. The city of Norton has been found to be the wettest town or city in Virginia over the long term, with an annual average during the 1983-2004 period of 57.54'' per year ( and that with some missing data during the winter months prior to 1999 ).
