This is the gazebo located at Mountain Lake Lodge in Virginia, the famous filming location for Dirty Dancing. Mountain Lake is 1 of just 2 natural lakes in Virginia, and is currently experiencing drought conditions. The lake features small openings at the bottom that continually drain the water, resulting in periodic emptying & refilling every few centuries.
Believe it or not, but this is the gazebo that was featured in the 1987 movie Dirty Dancing! The gazebo is located at the Mountain Lake Resort in Pembroke, Virginia. The lake has been dry for several years. But look how beautiful it is, surrounded by the fall colors!
Mountain Lake 26 August 2023. A shady rest and vista point. Smoke from BC fires in the air and prominent on the horizon. Gentle breeze off the prestine waters. Sprocket's and my (now) second favorite stop on the loop. #MountainLake#Orcas#Washington#Photography#DogsOfMastadon.
