Rockcliff Lake

Rockcliff Lake is a scenic 17-acre reservoir located in George Washington National Forest near Rockland, Hardy County, offering a peaceful paddling destination for kayakers and canoeists. The boat ramp provides vehicle access to this intimate lake, which features dramatic cliff formations and a white-sand swimming beach.
