Sutton Lake is located in the Mountain Lakes Region of central West Virginia. Sutton Lake is a clear, clean freshwater lake covering 1,440 acres with 44 miles of shoreline. The lake is approximately fourteen miles long.
One of the most striking features of Sutton Lake is that it is surrounded by over 10,000 acres of public land. There are no commercial developments or homes on the lake. All a boater sees is pristine water and green mountains. There are literally hundreds of coves where you can spend the day or night in seclusion.
The dam was built primarily for flood control and was completed in 1961 at a cost of $35 million. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operates and maintains the dam. Sutton Lake Marina is privately owned and operates under a lease with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The lake is 125 feet deep at the dam.
The dam is 210 feet high, 1,178 feet long and 195 feet wide at the base.
