Mount Storm Lake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Storm Lake (New Stony River Reservoir) is a 1,200 acre (4.9 km²) lake created in 1962 on the Stony River in Grant County, 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 West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle and parts of the Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan Area. The lake stands at an altitude of 3,244 feet (983 m). The lake is a popular local and tourist destination. When Dominion power company is using the lake for cooling, it keeps the lake at a warm temperature that makes it perfect for swimming, boating, and water activities even in cooler weather.
