Switzer Lake

"Switzer Lake is a hidden gem in the George Washington National Forest, near the border of Virginia and West Virginia. It is a stunning lake surrounded by forested mountains, offering a serene and scenic escape from the city. There are also hiking trails nearby. There are multiple campsites with fire rings. It’s a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. To get to the lake, you need to take Skidmore Fork Road off of US 33, which is a dirt road. A high-clearance vehicle is recommended to get to the bottom, where the best campsites are. There are also some pull-offs along the road where you can park and walk to the lake. Switzer Lake is a beautiful destination for anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to experience paradise."

"I absolutely loved looking out over the lake not to mention the road to get there adds an extra little charm that just makes it one of the best lakes to just get in your car and arrive at."

"Cool place for fishing, very quiet"

"Nice area, in the forest, just off Highway 33, just inside the Virginia state line."

"Beautiful, Quiet and No cell service. Perfect place to go camping or even just exploring. As mentioned earlier, there is no cell service so plan accordingly. Went on a Friday night into Saturday and wasn't packed at all."
