Cave Run Lake was built in the early 1970's and extends into Bath County. This man made lake extends more than 8,270 acres and is abundant of Muskie and is one of the most beautiful and serene lakes solely because it's natural. You won't be on the lake peering at the backdoors of residents; you are however, on the back door of nature's homes such as the deer and fox, and many species of birds.
