Mountain Lake
Mountain Lake is one of only two fresh water lakes in Virginia, and is
the highest in elevation East of the Mississippi. The lake is
approximately 6,000 years old and was formed along an active fault line
when several earthquakes caused rock slides that dammed up the northern
end of the valley. The lake is fed by cold underground springs which
rarely allow the temperature to rise above 70 degrees on the surface and
46 degrees on the bottom. Due to a unique series of narrow channels and
openings on the lake bottom the level has a history of rising and
falling depending upon the direction of water flow through these
channels to and from the icy-cold ground water lying deep beneath the
surface of the earth. The combination of these natural phenomena make
Mountain Lake the only one of it's kind in existence!
