If you get bored of Lake Monocan, you could also visit close by Hamilton Lake; lots of people from Staunton-Waynesboro come here.
 
   A glorious nearby hotel is Quality Inn Waynesboro, and in the event that you don't mind getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Stoney Creek. This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike on the Mills Creek Trail is always a great adventure, and whitewater paddling is splendid on Rockfish River - South Fork. If you like skiing, you're in luck; Wintergreen is next to Lake Monocan, and the scenery at Lake Monocan Dam is stunning.

Sherando Lake Campground
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. ...
