Braxton County and Burnsville Lake

In mid June a friend and I went on a two day fishing trip to Burnsville Lake.  Staying at a campsite at Bulltown Campgrounds was very good.  I recommend the campground.  The fishing however was not  good as the heavy rains preceded our arrival.  Chocolate milk is not the color you want to see in the water when fishing.  None the less we had a great time and saw many birds, barred owl, northern waterthrush, redstarts, yellowthroats, chestnut-sided, and many other warblers and flycatchers.  A highlight was watching a black bear swim the 300 yard width of the lake.
