NOTICE: Please be aware that the Mt. Chateau facility is owned by the State of West Virginia and is the home of the WV Geological and Economic Survey. However, there is concern that the current Governor and staff have the sale of this property under consideration for sale to a development project, given the significant value of this property on the Lake. Such a sale would not likely occur until after the current re-election campaign. Former Governors have similarly been willing to dispose of portions of the Mt. Chateau property, as was done by Governor Arch Moore.
The Mt. Chateau Lodge building is no longer used as a lodge, however it serves a vital function to the State in its present service for the Geological Survey and as a natural history museum. This property is ideal for scenic walks. With only a minimum of effort, it can be interconnected with the trails in the Coopers Rock State Forest. Fishing and boating access is feasible, particularly for kayaks and canoes.
Duane Nichols, President, Cheat Lake Environment & Recreation Association.
