Share feedback or correctionClaytor Lake is a roughly 4,470-acre reservoir on the New River in Pulaski County in southwestern Virginia. It was created when Appalachian Power completed Claytor Dam in 1939 for hydroelectric generation; the project is licensed by FERC and operated today as the Claytor Hydroelectric Project. The lake stretches more than 21 miles upstream and remains a major recreation and power resource for the New River Valley.
