About
Bluestone Lake Picnic Shelter is a day-use facility operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the shores of Bluestone Lake in southern West Virginia. The covered shelter accommodates up to 100 guests and features 12 picnic tables, electric and water hookups for event use, restrooms, and ample parking. It is particularly popular among Little League Baseball groups and anglers. The surrounding area offers basketball courts, baseball fields, horseshoe pits, open playing fields, and a playground. Bluestone Lake's 2,040 acres provide excellent opportunities for boating, water skiing, and fishing. A boat ramp, dock, pier, and marina are a short drive away. The New River, which feeds the lake, is considered the best warm water fishery in West Virginia, producing smallmouth bass, striped bass, catfish, crappie, and muskellunge.
