Access West Virginia’s Highest Water Park By Scenic Aerial Lift For A Summer Adventure
Snowshoe, West Virginia is a popular ski resort destination known far and wide for its epic slopes, beautiful views, and plush accommodations. But did you know that Snowshoe Mountain has plenty to offer adventure lovers in the summer season, as well?
Shavers Lake lies within Snowshoe Mountain Resort, just down the hill from the resort buildings, and it provides water for snowmaking during the winter ski season.
One of the best parts? Getting to the lake via this scenic aerial lift that soars high above Snowshoe's beautiful mountain slopes. Spot Cheat Mountain's spruce forested slopes (and maybe even a Shay engine steaming up it with a train load of passenger cars trailing along behind).
Yet it's not just the lift ride to the lake that makes this the perfect summer adventure. It's also what's waiting for you along Shavers Lake's shores when you get here.
(Note that the inflatables are not available for the 2021 summer season.)
...and a beach as well as multiple boating and floating options that allow you to explore the lake, this water park - the highest in West Virginia - is a fun and gorgeous spot to spend the day.
There's also a hiking trail around the lake, picnic areas, and more.
Come check out Shavers Lake and Lift for yourself! A day pass to ride the lift is $15; a lift pass plus access to the beach and boating activities is $30. Season passes are also available.
