Blairs Valley Lake is located in the Indian Springs Wildlife Management Area and is a popular spot for fishermen. Forest, consisting of oaks and other hardwoods, dominate the surrounding landscape with some very steep hills. Fairview Mountain provides a beautiful backdrop to Blairs Valley Lake and has some Civil War history as it was used as a military signal. The lake is shallow, with a maximum depth of 18 feet found near the dam and aquatic vegetation is abundant both on top of the water and below, providing cover for fish. Restrictions on the lake include all gas motors and only electric trolling motors are permitted.
