Sleepy Creek Lake offers paddlers and boaters a calm, electric-motor-only lake experience in Berkeley County's Eastern Panhandle. This 1962-built reservoir has a maximum depth of 28 feet and average depth of 9 feet, making it ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. The Stotlers Crossroads access point is one of three public boat ramps serving the lake, with one concrete ramp and two gravel ramps available across the management area.
The lake is situated within the Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area, which provides primitive camping facilities (fees apply) and pit toilets on-site. The electric-motor-only restriction keeps the lake quiet and suitable for paddlers. To reach this access point from the east, follow WV Route 9 west to Back Creek Valley Road, then continue south for approximately seven miles to Sleepy Creek Road, heading west to the ramp. For current information on conditions, fees, and detailed maps, contact the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.
