About This Access Site
Cedar Branch Campground offers boat ramp access to Bluestone Lake, West Virginia's third largest lake with a 2,040-acre surface area. Located in Mandeville near the Bluestone Lake Wildlife Management Area, this is a secondary launch point suitable for smaller boats, jon boats, and canoes. The facility is part of a larger recreation area managed for public access and enjoyment.

This launch provides convenient access to paddling opportunities on Bluestone Lake and the scenic New River corridor. The main boat ramp for larger vessels is located at the Pit Area off Route 20, while Cedar Branch serves as one of several secondary access points around the lake. Nearby paddling destinations include the Bluestone River (20 minutes away) and the Greenbrier River (15 minutes), making this a good base for exploring the region's waterways in the southern Appalachian Mountains.
