     I don't want to stop, cause I'm havin' a great time here at Ravenel Lake. A pleasant tour to Horse Cove is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon; close by you hit upon the Three Forks Trail which is a tremendous hiking trail. The slopes of Scaly Mountain are so inviting nobody can resist; the Whiteside Mountain National Recreation Trail is a great hiking trail close by. What would winter be without some skiing at Sky Valley; you'll meet a lot of folks from  
   Seneca here.
All the outdoors cool stuff in the Blue Ridge Mountains will keep you coming back persistently. There's some interesting stuff to see at Mirror Lake Dam in the neighborhood of Ravenel Lake, and a round of golf at nearby Highlands Falls Country Club Pool & Tennis is a great way to kill some time. You'll wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the amusing stuff at Ravenel Lake. There's so much to do here at Ravenel Lake that you need to camp
 
               here for a while, Van Hook Glade Campground is a good spot for that; dry warm beds await you at Old Edwards Inn and Spa. But wait, there's more cool stuff to do in the Blue Ridge Mountains. What would a place like Ravenel Lake be without attention-grabbing close by characteristics like Sunset Rock, and a good place to go to is Rich Gap.
