Pounds Hollow Campground

35 sites · RV, Tent
Pounds Hollow Lake was completed in the 1940's as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps' sweeping land improvement projects. This place has been popular ever since, with fishing, swimming, hiking, and camping consistently great for seventy years. The lake only allows small-motor and rowboats, so the breeze and lapping waves will never be interrupted by the racket of big-power outboards throttling around. Plenty of CCC structures are still standing and in-use, so step back in time and get away from it all at Pounds Hollow!
