Located in the heart of Adventure Valley, Tridave Lake is the epicenter of whitewater training, kayaking, and other aquatics programs at the Summit Bechtel Reserve. The 16-acre lake is nestled among the native West Virginia trees, and is traversed by the Big Zip, so those who look up might catch a glimpse of Scouts racing high above the lake at more than 50 miles an hour.
