I visited Spruce Knob Lake, located in the Monongahela National Forest. It is a glacial lake that sits at an elevation of 3,940 feet, making it the highest large body of water in West Virginia. The lake has pristine, clear blue water that reflects breathtaking scenery from the surrounding mountains. The area around the lake is rich in biodiversity with spruce and fir trees and diverse species of plants and animals. I also discovered that the lake serves as a habitat for several species of fish, such as brook, brown, and rainbow trout. Sadly, I noticed that human activity has caused some damage to the ecosystem surrounding the lake. Regardless, Spruce Knob Lake remains a tranquil and beautiful destination for nature lovers.
