Summersville Lake

Great day to paddle on the lake! #NRS #SUP

"The outdoors" is such a complicated term and provides a varied landscape of uses. Summersville Lake, while one location, provides multiple mappings of social use by often non-overlapping communities. For the climbers that descend (and ascend) upon this region, to what extent do they attempt to appreciate its local functions? Or do these outsiders, however well-intentioned, find themselves using "stewardship" and "conservation" as modern-day forms of that age-old impulse to save Appalachia from its own people? #appalachianechoes

The room was clean and unique. Beds and room very comfy. Spacious room. Low water pressure, but the building is older and quirky. Cool architecture with nice touches. Staff was super helpful and nice. I would definitely stay here again.

The shower had mildew in the corners and there was hair all over the floor. The room was dingy and rundown.
