The Mountain Lake Biological Station is a diverse community of scientists, instructors, research interns, students, and artists from around the world who conduct research, take field-based courses, and create art on top of beautiful Salt Pond Mountain.

Mountain Lake Biological Station is located at 240 Salt Pond Road in Pembroke, VA.
