After two action packed days on the Gauley River, Dean and I got a good nights rest and then drove out to Summersville Lake. We started out down a trail that Dean believes might be called the Overlook Trail, but I haven't confirmed that.

The surrounding forest was green and thick. The trail was well-maintained. A couple downed trees made for minor obstacles, but other than that it was an easy hike to a spectacular outlook. Sheer cliffs drop straight down into the lake. This would be a great spot for some 75 foot high cliff jumping, deep water soloing or rappelling.

I caught a glimpse of some of the fall color that is on its way. Also, discovered a small slot canyon that drops down towards the water level after a couple tricky downclimbs.
