Cheat Lake, Reservoir in Monongalia County, United States.

The 13-mile-long Cheat Lake spans across 1,730 acres of surface water, varying between one to three miles in width at different points.

The Cheat River dam construction between 1924 and 1926 formed this reservoir, with water first flowing over the structure on December 23, 1925.

The area near Ices Ferry contains remnants of a 19th-century iron industry, reflecting the industrial heritage of West Virginia's early development period.

Three facilities - Edgewater Marina, Cheat Lake Marina, and Sunset Beach Marina - provide water access and services for boats throughout the year.

The Lake Lynn Power Plant continues to generate 52 megawatts of hydroelectric power while maintaining water levels for recreational activities.
