Tygart Lake, a 1,750-acre Corps reservoir near Grafton in north-central West Virginia, reaches depths of about 130 ft and is one of the state's most-dived lakes. The best-known site is Henderson Rocks, a line of underwater cliffs running parallel to shore off the Pleasant Creek boat ramp: about 20 ft from shore, in 8 ft of water, the bottom drops vertically over the cliff face. Dive-club guides describe it as an easy wade-in wall dive.
