    Part of Virginia's Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), this is a pretty lake tucked in a residential area. People fish here by dock and by boat. Seasonally, there is a snack bar with cheap eats. WMAs require an access pass available online.

    Quiet and beautiful! I didn't see one wake boat the whole time and the gentleman at the shop was helpful and knowledgeable at a reasonable $

    Quiet lake. Peaceful and great for fishing and kayaking! I grew up on the lake and always enjoyed it.

    Awesome lake to cruise around on a little john boat you can rent for a fair price. I love the country view. Very peaceful!

    Peaceful, nostalgic and secluded. When in Orange, Virginia visit Orange Lake and bring a canoe or go fishing (or rent a canoe and rod).

    Beautiful and I mean breathtakingly beautiful landscape! Mountains in the distance! Perfect sized…read morebody of water for light fishing, canoe, little beach area with lifeguard on duty for a family day with sand and sun, trail surround the park with benches to sit and awe at how beautiful nature can be. Prices are extremely affordable (coming from DC and being used to paying up to $40 for two people to paddle board for 30 mins, which is normal for me). For $3 or so you can take out a kayak per person per hour. If you're fishing make sure to bring all you need and purchase your license AND additional $5 permit to fish there. They sell small snacks and ice cream. Bathroom situation is dicey considering it's a porta-potty but hey honestly all in all I would come again and I would spend days on end here either by myself or with family.

    What an incredibly beautiful gem! Revenue the ride out here is great! Beautiful lake surrounded by…read moremountains & trees. Nice pretty easy trail that loops around the lake (some parts are thin & steep, but made it through with the dog) . Absolutely loved this place on our vacation. Quite peaceful. I counted 6 shelters too so I imagine in spring /summer it gets used a lot. They have porta potties and a 2-stall bathroom for women & a bathroom for men too. Hand washing station outside. We came during the week of October 13th & the foliage was beautiful.
