Lake Sherwood Recreation Area is a complete family destination offering a wide variety of activities and camping options. Standard, tent-only and group camping facilities are perched along Lake Sherwood, the largest lake in the Monongahela National Forest. Swimming beaches, a picnic area, boat ramp and several hiking trails are among the features of the area. Anglers seek tiger muskie, channel catfish, bullhead, bluegill and largemouth bass, and boating is a big draw as well. Hikers have the option of exploring Lake Sherwood Trail, Upper Meadow Trail, Meadow Mountain Trail and Meadow Creek. Each campsite has a parking spur, tent pad, picnic table, fire ring and lantern post. All camping areas are served by restrooms with running water, flush toilets, hot showers and electricity, available during the summer season only; in spring and fall, vault toilets and a hand pump well are available. Showers are accessible. The parking aprons are gravel and some are up to 20 feet wide. No electrical, sewage or water hook-ups are available, but there is a dump station on site. Other amenities include a playground, picnic shelters and volleyball courts. At an elevation of 2,600 feet, Lake Sherwood spans 156 acres within the Monongahela National Forest, about a million acres of West Virginia forest that draws 1.3 million visitors each year. A variety of animals make their home here, including black bear, coyote, wild turkey, white-tailed deer, red and gray fox, bobcat, fisher, otter and mink. The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, is a 15-minute drive. The West Virginia State Fair, held in August each year, is 30 minutes away in Lewisburg.
