Ed I've only lived here for 2 years and this is my first boat. I've heard rumors that there are houses at the bottom of Cheat as it is damned at both ends and uses the cheat river as it's water source!! Haha wondered if you could confirm or deny since you mentioned scuba!

BadbluSi - We launched from the marina ramp just south of Interstate 68 and traveled down river as far as navigable. Found great water for boarding and skiing. Flat and little other boat traffic. We live in the Chicago area and trailered the boat for a visit with my sister who lives in Fairmont. Everyone had a great time. - Deerfield

WVU memories
Went to pharmacy school in Morgantown. Back then I could only dream of owning a boat. It's a great lake, when we lived in Pittsburgh lot's of boaters went there for vacations. It's a great lake!
Go Mountaineers!!!

Will have to agree with Ed, one of the first things I noticed when I moved here was the color of the lake! One of the more blue green colored lakes I've ever been in! Although right now with all the rain and runoff, it's a bit brown!! Still good times.

Maybe we can try and set up a mini meet around that time?! I've never surfed before, would love to try it!

Grew up in Bethel Park. Weekly trips to Yough, Cheat, Deep Creek. All great water. Our long trips are now down to Norris TN, Cumberland KY, Dale Hallow where the water can be even a clearer emerald green. Cheat was great. I saw it in the winter after a drought 2 years ago and there were no remains of houses that you could see, over the I think 68 bridge?
Would like to tow there but between gas prices and much easier to find wateredge house rentals at Deep Creek, not sure this year. Wonder if Maryland outlawed ballast devices like they were saying?
