Shore diving on Summersville Lake is done from Battle Run Beach near the campground and from the winter access ramp near the dam, with the Salmon Run ramp area serving as another easy entry on the north shore. Training platforms sit at roughly 20-25 ft and a small sunken boat, the Thomas Patrick, lies off the winter ramp. The same exceptional clarity that earned the lake its 'Little Bahamas' nickname makes these easy walk-in dives rewarding.
