    If you are in this part of Virginia make sure to pay a visit to Hamilton Lake. You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors cool things the area near Hamilton Lake has to offer. If the weather is delightful here at Hamilton Lake, you can go for a hike along the White Rock Gap Trail; you'll come across a pretty lake called Payne Pond. Going for a hike along the Mills Creek Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood, and if you're a golfer  
   then a great close by course is Swannanoa Country Club. If you came for an overnight stay Sherando Lake Campground is a glorious spot to camp, and a wonderful lake like Lake Monocan is a nice location to check out.
This lake is so wonderful. There's some flowing water close by, Allen Creek is a stream you can have a look at during your stay; you can never get enough of the perfect skiing at Wintergreen. Throughout the summer at Hamilton Lake highs are usually
 
               in the 80's, and the overnight is a little cooler of course, regularly in the 60's. The wintertime comes with highs in the 40's; during the dark hours in the wintertime at Hamilton Lake temperatures dip to the 10's. After a long day outdoors Wintergreen Resort is a delightful spot to spend a night or two; Lake Nelson Campground is a fine local campground.
This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Rockfish River - South Fork, and if you need a place to stay Quality Inn Waynesboro is a perfect choice. And that's not all you can do here at Hamilton Lake. If the weather is pretty, you acquire a good sight of McClain Mountain from Hamilton Lake, and you can have a glorious hiking adventure along the Turkey Pen Ridge Trail.
If you come at the right time of year, Stoney Creek offers some good whitewater, and Bernard Hamilton Dam is a location that is in the neighborhood of Hamilton Lake. Hamilton Lake gets a normal amount of annual precipitation; August is the wettest month with most rain while February is frequently the driest month.

Wintergreen
Thanks for having such a great ski resort for us to visit, keep up the great work!...My family loves skiing at Wintergreen here in Virginia. We go there all the time in the winter, it's a good place to ski for all abilities I think, both beginners and experts....

Back Creek - South River Tributary
We would like to get info on prices and times for the whitewater rafting. We will be in the area the weekend of July 10th, 11th and leaving the 12th....Are there kayak rentals?...

Sherando Lake Campground
10 miles away
Well me and my family have been going to Sharando Lake ever since I was born and we havn't gone anywhere else I love sherando and I can't wait to go back for another memorable camping weekend!...As close to perfect a camping experience as you can get: 1) Private, secluded, spacious campsites 2)access to flush toilets and showers, 3) a breathtakingly beautiful lake/swim area 4)hiking trails. WORD OF CAUTION: in-season, all sites are snapped up by Thurday noon for the weekend. Come on Sunday for best selection or before Thursday if you want a shot at a campsite. They don't take reservations (as of 8/2006) Wish they would so everyone could have a shot at a weekend camping trip there, not just the locals who can zip in and set a few camping chairs on the sites on Thursday to claim it for the weekend. ...
