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.

   to do in the neighborhood of Rock Lake. Paddling on Whiteday Creek is so much fun; some of the water close by flows, like Burnt Cabin Run.

Why not camp at Tygart River Camping Area if you're here at Rock Lake; after a long day outdoors Fairmont Super 8 Motel is a great spot to spend a night or two.
