Nobody has sent me a picture of Jennings Randolph Lake. If you have been, that is the one thing I cannot get by ringing anyone up —send one and it goes on this page with your name on it if you want it.
No reservation needed
A five-mile reservoir on the North Branch of the Potomac, holding back water for Washington DC since 1981 and forming the Maryland-West Virginia line. Over a hundred feet deep, and it holds the state walleye record. Run jointly by Swallow Falls and Herrington Manor with the Army Corps of Engineers.
