The launch provides access to the Summersville Lake, which is an artificial reservoir on the Gauley River.
According to the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, the lake is popular for fishing, boating, kayaking, and swimming. The lake permits boats with gasoline and electric motors, but jet skis and personal watercraft are not allowed.
