## Overview

Choose from three day-use picnic shelters at R.D. Bailey Lake, a scenic
reservoir with views of the surrounding tree-topped mountains.

## Recreation

The lake is best known for boating and fishing for largemouth, smallmouth,
striped bass and channel catfish.  
  
Hunting enthusiasts can hunt small game such as rabbits and turkey in-season.  
  
Head to the Visitor Center for interesting exhibits, educational programs and
tours of the dam and intake structure. There's also an impressive observation
deck with viewing telescopes.

## Facilities

Each shelter has a playground, flush toilets, drinking water and plenty of
grassy space for sports. All three are near excellent shore fishing areas as
well.  
  
Big Branch Shelter  
  
Big Branch is close to the headwaters of the lake. It has the most space of
the three shelters, with substantial room for extra cars and enough tables to
seat 100 guests. Horseshoe pits, basketball and volleyball courts, and the
largest, newest playground can be found here. The site is equipped with two
grills and electric hookups.  
  
Guyandotte Point Day Use Shelter  
  
Guyandotte Point sits at the lake's headwaters, just a quarter mile past the
Big Branch Recreation Area. This is the best location for those who plan to go
boating, as it's the only location with a boat ramp. Electric hookups and a
large charcoal grill are onsite.  
  
Visitor Center Day Use Shelter  
  
The Visitor Center Shelter is nearly 400 feet above the dam, offering
spectacular views of the glistening lake. The shelter is, as named, right by
the Visitor Center, which is worth a visit. It's also at the trailhead of two
popular hiking trails and the Below Dam Fisherman's Access. Horseshoe pits are
by the shelter. No electric hookups are available.

## Natural Features

R. D. Bailey Lake Group Shelters are on the Guyandotte River in West Virginia,
about three miles east of the town of Justice.  
  
The R. D. Bailey Dam reaches 310 feet high, and the lake's surface area in
summer is 630 acres. The region of the Appalachian Mountains boasts an
abundance of oak, hickory and beech trees.
