Stretching north from Clarksburg is a marsh of dangerous, radioactive sludge, with a wrecked coffee shop and dock on the southeastern shore. Head west to the remains of the Lakeside Grill, a cafe with junk to gather inside. There’s also a crab shack; only a rooftop picnic area is accessible around this structure. Then inspect the sagging docks and boat sheds, one of which is locked (2). The lake is radioactive, with a small sludge island and half-sunken boat to inspect, and the possibility of enemies both disgusting and glowing.
