     Why not stop at Pettit Dam since you're here, and why not camp at Lake Anna Family Campground while you're here at Sherman Lake. Horsepen Branch flows through this area. Sherman Lake gets a large amount of water; the wettest month of the year is typically August, that's the one that rains the most; April on the other hand is the driest. Lakes are good; Bearden Pond is a lake that's right next door to Sherman Lake, and Hotel Sierra Richmond West is a fine site  
   to get some rest.
This lake is so wonderful. This is a wonderful area for folks who like lakes. Pettit Lake is a lake close by; if you came for an overnight stay Christopher Run Campground is a splendid site to camp. Throughout the days of summer, highs regularly are in the 80's at Sherman Lake. Once the sun is down it sinks down to the 60's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 40's with winter lows in the 20's overnight here at Sherman Lake.

Whitlock Millpond
Whitlock Millpond (very old maps show it as Hancock's Mill Pond) used to be a beautiful place. It was hard to get to and, as a result, I only visited once when I went fishing there as a child with my father and my grandfather (early- to mid-1960s). It was a wild, snaky place. My grandfather, who lived nearby, told me the dam which fed the abandoned mill had been built by slaves using stone quarried nearby.
Sadly, the dam was breached and the remains of the mill were swept away by the flooding that accompanied Hurricane Camille in 1968. Since then, what was the pond has filled with trees and only a small creek remains. In 2006 I tried to get over to where the remains of the dam are, but the owner of the land I had to cross just looked at me like I had lost my mind. I guess it is wilder and snakier than ever now....
