     The peak of Meadow Knob can be distinguished from Persimmon Pond, and a great site to camp here at Persimmon Pond is Cold Sulphur Camp Ground. The high level of rainfall makes Persimmon Pond a pretty wet site; of all the months in a year July is the one with the most rain, and December on the other hand is the driest. A lake close by is Browns Pond, and Foxtail Hollow is in close proximity, and is a perfect location. This lake is so wonderful. Take a hike on  
   the Marshall Draft Trail, and there's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby The Homestead.
In the event that you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Bullpasture River, and getting to Campbell Run from Persimmon Pond is simple. Now, you may think that's loads but there's even more fun stuff to do here at Persimmon Pond. You could also have a look at Big Pond since you're here at Persimmon Pond; it's nearby,
 
               and why not camp at Virginia Power since you're here at Persimmon Pond. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Persimmon Pond; Fort Lewis Trail is a great local trail, and Cowpasture River has a fine whitewater paddling spot nearby.
This lake is so wonderful. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Tower Hill Mountain Trail. The warmest time of the year brings highs in the 80's to Persimmon Pond, and throughout the night it cools down to the 50's. Through the winter the highs are ordinarily in the 30's with temperatures at Persimmon Pond dipping down into the 10's during winter nights.
