Summersville Lake Dam in West Virginia in December
This superb dam has been built across the Gauley River in Nicholas County, West Virginia near the New River Gorge area. It is 2,280 feet long and at 390 feet tall it is almost as high as a forty storey building.
It is what is described as a rock-fill dam and is the second largest of this type in the eastern United States. It took 12 million cubic yards of dirt and rock to construct it.
Built between 1960 and 1966 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers it was dedicated on its opening by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
The Corps of Engineers broke a long standing tradition in the naming of the dam. Until then any such project was named after the nearest town. In this instance the nearest town was a tiny hamlet that would actually be flooded once the reservoir was filled. Its name was Gad.
The Engineers briefly considered the name Gad Dam but eventually thought it inapropriate. So the dam is named after Summersville, the next nearest town
The reservoir formed by the dam was naturally called Summersville Lake. It covers 2,700 acres and has 60 miles of shoreline making it the largest lake in West Virginia.
