The beauty of Scott Lake attracts many people from all around. This lake is so wonderful. You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Snowshoe if you're here. The high level of rainfall makes Scott Lake a rather wet place; July is when you get the most rain here, and February is when it's the driest. This lake is so wonderful. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Cheat River - Shavers Fork, and the Chestnut Ridge Trail is a nice hiking trail nearby.
