About Us
We are Lois and Chip Batten, owners and operators of Springwater Farm in McDowell, Va. This working farm has been in Lois's family since the late 1780's and consists of 360 acres of pastures, wooded mountains, a pond, and the fabled Bullpasture River.
"The Fishing Camp" is built on the bank of the Bullpasture River, with over 3,000ft. of the river meandering through the farm. It offers a private, secluded fishing experience for angler or vacationer looking to get away from it all.
Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Rainbow, Tiger Trout and an assortment of panfish await the offering of a well placed fly or spinnerbait.
