Natural Features and SceneryPhilpott Lake's steep, rocky banks rise dramatically into mixed forests of oak, maple, hickory, pine, and cedar. The geological setting is millions of years old, with weathered stone formations creating sharp contrasts against the water. The lake covers 2,900 acres with 100 miles of shoreline, winding into coves and inlets. White-tailed deer, wild turkeys, and squirrels move through the woods. Waterfowl float along the water's edge. The forested hillsides create a rugged Blue Ridge backdrop visible from most campsites.
