Howell Run

Howell Run offers a well-maintained two-lane concrete boat ramp with a floating dock on the east side of Jennings Randolph Lake, located off WV State Route 46 near Nethkin. The ramp features a large paved parking area with ample spaces and includes comfort facilities on-site. This is an ideal launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the scenic 952-acre reservoir.

The Howell Run Picnic Area serves as a day-use facility with beautiful panoramic views of the lake, making it a pleasant spot to prepare for paddling or relax after your outing. The surrounding area offers additional recreation opportunities including hiking trails (notably the Lakeside Trail) and excellent wildlife viewing—Jennings Randolph Lake is home to a nesting pair of bald eagles. For more information or reservations, contact the facility at 304-355-2346.
