The lake contains small skinny fish probably due to the infestation of snapping turtles, they eat most of the food supply so there is not enough "feed" for fish to grow large and healthy. Just last weekend we saw at least 20 snapping turtles, one weighing at least 50 pounds. We saw geese being dragging under and in the very center of the lake a HUGH snapping turtle came right up to our boat. With so many snapping turtles I'm concerned about all the kids swimming in the lake, use caution.

I just found this site - please take Ferndale Lake off your list. It is a private lake and there are already problems with non home owners coming to the lake. Have a one fish limit and all the snapping turtles eating all the fish and non resident intrustions - there isn't much left.

Private Property. Access prohibited to all except owners (and their guests) in Lake Ferndale. Property mischaracterized as reservoir (it's not) and mis-named. Ferndale Farms has nothing to do with Lake Ferndale, so the name Ferndale Farms Recreation Lake is flat-out wrong. Private property enforced by the local gendarmes. Do not trespass.

I own property on the lake and fish it all the time and fishing is always excellent. I have caught huge catfish using chicken livers near the damn and pretty big large mouth bass using deep diving crankbaits.

This should be removed from your site. This is a PRIVATE LAKE PAID FOR AND MAINTAINED BY Lake Ferndale (NOT FERNDALE FARMS) LAND OWNERS AND LOCKED. No Trespassing.

This lake doesn't really exist. It just an old West Virginia folklore so don't bother looking for it. Plus if it DID exist, only LAND OWNERS could use it and it would be gated so that non land owners couldn't use it...losers.

Lake Ferndale is a PRIVATE lake used only by residents that own property in and belong to the Ferndale Lake Land Owners Association, FLLOA. There is a gate at the Lake entrance and remains locked. Only members owning property and belonging to FLLOA have keys and are allowed to fish this lake. Ferndale Farms and or Ferndale Acres are NOT part of the FLLOA association, do not own property, do not pay annual assessments, do not have keys or rights to fish this PRIVATE lake either. If you show up, don't have the proper key or identification that lets us know you belong to FLLOA, you will be asked to leave. There is great fishing in the South Branch of the Potomac just two miles away. It's got lots of flatwater and public ramps. Try the river instead!
