Stop 2 – Trout Pond Recreation Area, Lost City, West Virginia

Two days in Trout Pond, June 7, 2019 through June 9. This is a park managed by US Forestry department and located within the Shenandoah National Park.

We stayed on site 1 with full hookup. Site was large, clean and private. Bathrooms were clean but men’s bathroom contained racial slurs.

Sites were quick walk to pond which was clean and had beautiful green water, surrounded by mountains. A nice trail encircled the pond, with convenient fishing spots alone the path. Jon was able to catch a small bass and others golden trout. Pond also had a manmade beach with nice white sand. Marcos enjoyed swimming, playing with other kids and catching salamanders.

This place was in the middle of nowhere! One radio station, no TV stations, no internet or phone service and 20 minutes to nearest store & gas station.
