Brandywine Lake is a six acre impounded lake and camp ground. It is in the Dry River District of the George Washington Nation Forest. Located on State Route 33 approximately 10 miles west of the Virginia State Line. It is stocked un the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources code BW-F. Which means , one trout stocking in February, every other week, March - May and once each week October 13 and 20. DNR sponsors Free Fishing Days June 7-8.
Electric motor boats are allowed. Since the area is secured, the gate below the parking lot is closed during the off season. That doesn't stop the locals. They have devised low, hand pulled trailers to pull beneath the gate. There are a number of walk in bank fishers as well. Everyone was catching their limit, except me... I was too busy photographing to share with you. Hope you enjoy it. They were fishing with corn and night crawlers. Besides the stocked trout, are crappie, bass, perch, and catfish.
Brandywine lake has a beautiful sandy beach for swimmers on one section of the lake, with a lovely arched wooden bridge access. Their rest room facilities, include showers and are exceptionally clean. The grounds are wheel chair accessible. I'll post some more pictures of the swimming and camping facilities when the gates are unlocked. Also, I'll update you on the fishing at that time.
