Mount Storm Lake Description

Mount Storm Lake (also known as New Stony River Reservoir) is a 1,200 acre (4.9 km²) reservoir created in 1962 on the Stony River in Grant County in the U.S. state of West Virginia. Mount Storm Lake serves as a "cooling pond" for the Dominion 1,600 megawatt Mount Storm Power Station, which provides electricity to more than two million customers in Northern Virginia. The reservoir stands at an altitude of 3,244 feet (983 m). Mount Storm Lake is a popular local and tourist destination. When Dominion Virginia Power is using the reservoir for cooling, it keeps Mount Storm Lake at a warm temperature that makes it perfect for swimming, boating, and water activities even in cooler weather. The reservoir's water is also extremely clear, with the light available on an average overcast day allowing swimmers to clearly see its bottom at depths of at least five to six feet.
