WALLBACK LAKE ATTRACTING FISHERMEN

(04/23/2007)

The 15-acre $2.1 million Wallback Lake, opened in 2006, after more than a decade in the making is beginning to attract local fishermen. It has recently been stocked with trout. The lake is located in Roane and Clay counties just off the Wallback exit of I-79. The recreational area includes fishing and boating, a concrete boat launching ramp, a concrete courtesy dock, access road, parking areas, and a walkway along the shore for fishing access. In addition to the lake, a 100-yard shooting range was created in a side hollow at the upper end of the structure. Eight shooting stations with shooting benches were constructed, complete with a shelter to allow use during any weather conditions. Backstops were constructed at 100, 50, and 25 yards. The range provides area hunters a safe location to shoot.
