Scuba Diving at Summersville Lake -- Summersville Lake is ranked among the cleanest and clearest freshwater lakes east of the Mississippi River. Its clarity and the rocky terrain beneath its surface have made Summersville one of the most popular scuba-diving lakes in the world. Submerged cliffs and boulders and swim-throughs await adventurers.

Rock Climbing at Summersville Lake -- Rock climbers are particularly fond of employing pontoon boats for their exploration of the miles of cliffline that tower along the lake's eastern shores. Pontoon boats offer the space, stability, and sun-protection climbers need to enjoy the cliffs to their fullest. Our facility near Salmon Run Launch is also the most convenient to the climbing areas.
