Boston Kayaker

Boating on Bluestone Lake - in Hinton WV Rating: Two Stars - We hired a pontoon boat for this water trip. Really nice views of all those tree-filled hills and mountains. Lake's busy though. There are nice campgrounds with lots of people camped out and enjoying their time lakeside.   Put in at boat ramp off   Route 20 in Hinton WV. Paddle south and turn around   near the campgroud. Estimated round trip   distance = 5 miles Bluestone State Park   Bluestone Dam Campgrounds Bluestone Marina   Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to determine the legality, suitability and safety of this route for yourself.
