Sutton Lake Access

Sutton Lake Access provides public boat launch facilities at multiple locations around the 1,440-acre reservoir in Braxton County, with the primary access points at Sutton Dam, Bee Run Recreation Area, Bakers Run Campground, and Gerald R. Freeman Campground.

Most access points are free, though fees may apply for camping or marina services, and the lake is managed by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers.

The calm waters and scenic 40-mile shoreline make it suitable for paddling and fishing, though boaters should be aware of motorboat traffic, especially during peak season.
