     A normal amount of precipitation falls here at Walace Lake; through July this area sees the most rain while February is regularly the driest month. This lake is so wonderful. If you need a site to stay Days Inn Staunton/ Mint Springs is a good choice; Sengers Mountain Lake is a nearby lake that you could check out. Upper Wallace Dam is a beautiful spot close to Walace Lake, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Marl  
   Creek - South R.Trib.

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. ...
