Gathright Dam — photo spot in Gathright Dam, Hot Springs, VA 24445, USA
Gathright Dam
Gathright Dam and the wide Lake Moomaw reservoir offer strong waterscape and Appalachian landscape shots: sweeping dam crest, dramatic spillway flows, reflective lake surfaces, and wooded ridgelines that peak in color during fall. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side lighting and reflections; late autumn brings peak foliage, winter can add ice and muted palettes. Access via VA-39 with roadside pullouts and small parking areas; expect limited facilities—plan for a short walk to viewpoints. No‑
