 Hiking
The park offers five hiking trails. Map and trail guides are available
to assist in planning the right length and duration of of your hike.
Fishing
Tygart Lake is considered by many to be one of the best bass waters in the area and fishing its deep waters can be a rewarding and exciting experience. In addition, anglers will find abundant walleye, musky, crappie, perch, bullhead catfish, carp, northern pike and numerous pan fish. All fish found in Tygart Lake are sustained through natural reproduction rather than by stocking, attesting to the exceptional water quality of the lake. Fishing for golden rainbow trout, which are periodically stocked in the tail waters of Tygart Dam, is also popular with many anglers.
The best months for smallmouth and largemouth bass are April through June, September and October. Walleye are best caught during September and October. For crappie, try April, May, October and November. Channel catfish can be caught June through September. Fish attractors, marked by floating buoys, help provide good fishing spots. All coves are posted as no wake zones as well. Many trophy fish have been caught in Tygart Lake waters. There is no fee to fish in the lake; however, the angler must possess a West Virginia fishing license, which may be obtained at the park office, or on the Internet at www.wvfish.com.
Swimming
In July 2006, the lake swimming area at Tygart Lake was closed for the season and is not scheduled to reopen, due to staffing difficulties and the poor and potentially hazardous physical condition of certain aging infrastructure.
