Mt. Storm Lake
Description: A 1200 acre, massively heated thermal lake at 3,100 feet elevation above sea level. A 1.6 GigaWatt coal burning power plant, owned and operated by Dominion Virginia Power, super heats Mt. Storm Lake 20 - 25 degrees above normal. Fall temperatures can still be in the 90\\\'s (93 degrees on 9/17/05) while summer temperatures approach 100 degrees fahrenheit. The power plant supplies 2,000,000 people in the DC area with their power. The power plant consumes 15,000 tons of coal per day and sucks up 234,000 gallons of water per minute to cool it\\\'s turbines (entire lake recycled in 2 1/2 days). Popular with scuba divers in the tri-state area, this unknown rural lake is up to 160 feet deep and miles across. Locals call this Lake \\\"Vepco\\\". It will likely soon be more popular with para sailing, water skiing, jet skiing, and more with scuba divers as it is discovered and when the new Rt. 55 Corridor-H Super Highway opens an exit ramp just a couple of miles away near the Liberty Gas Station and Convenience Store (2010).Phone: see site Address: see site City: Potomac Highlands~ State: WV Zip: 26739 Region: Potomac Highlands Url: http://www.abramscreek.com/Mt-Storm.html Canaan Valley - Albright - Davis - - Mathias - Keyser - Thomas - Berkeley Springs - Potomac Highlands~ - Fayetteville - Harpers Ferry - West Virginia Regions - Roanoke - Moorefield - Beckley - Eastern Panhandle~ - Hico - Cass - Petersburg - Snowshoe - Elkins - Hatfield-McCoyMountains~ - Ansted - Franklin - Philippi - Fairmont - Buckhannon - NewRiverGreenbriarValley~ |
