Rock Lake, Marion County, West Virginia     User input for Rock Lake, Marion County, West Virginia: Gordon Coughlin: In the 1939's my grandfather built the first cabin on Rock Lake.  He built a log cabin form the trees cut down to form the lake.  The cabin was called Shamrock Shanty.  I caught my first at Rock Lake and learned how to row a boat. The cabin has been torn down, but I will never forget the good times my family had there. A small, lake-side community in rural West Virginia. - Hugh Submit Input: Your Name: Write or Paste Input here: Upload picture:      Review Guidelines        A good place to camp here at Rock Lake is Whisper Mountain Campground; dry warm beds await you at Holiday Inn FAIRMONT.
