BKgooch, If you really want to get to know Herrington lake, You and your Dad should go down in late fall and just ride around from Kings Mill down to Gwinns Isalnd. Maybe take a camera with you to take pictures of all the stuff under the water. You will be amazed at how much stuff is under there, especially since the ice storm a few years back. If you don't take pictures, you will probably not be able to find the stuff in the spring, after the water comes up.Usually each year I try to make at least one trip down to check out all the stuff....Thumbs Up
