Cheat Lake is pretty large, the water always seems a little rough when i go there though. In the summer the water is clean and very clear, especially back in these "lagoon like areas". We used to go through these huge pipes on jet skis which go back into these little calm areas and with goggles on you could see about 10-12 feet in front of you on a good day.
My cousin runs his big sunsation down there and he takes 3 of his friends all with warhawk pickleforks, 2 blown, 1 naturally asperated.
Overall a nice place!
