    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).

    TOTAL DOG HEAVEN. My pup Otis and I frequent the dog parks in town around Charlottesville a few…read moretimes a week, and decided to take a little winter adventure up to Chris Greene Lake this past weekend. Despite being VERY muddy (everywhere is muddy right now because of all of the rain and snow!), it was absolutely awesome. As soon as we arrived at the dog park area at Chris Greene, which is a short and pretty walk through the woods from the parking area, Otis went NUTS! There's a ton of space to romp, and I think the dogs really love the added fun of dodging in and out of the many trees. I've never seen Otis run so much at a dog park, and despite the cold and ice on the lake he jumped right in. This place will be perfect when the weather is warmer and the dogs really want to swim! It also offers what no other dog parks have: total shade, which will come in handy in July and August! I did get a little turned around leaving the park - there are two paths and I couldn't remember which one we came in on. I took the wrong one, but it just took me on a pleasant little loop before arriving back at the parking area. For the direct exit, take the path on the right. I also think it's important to note that this park is big and your pooch can get pretty far away from you at any given time. I try to stay pretty close to my guy just in case he encounters a grumpy-pants-pup, and that feels pretty hard to do here. Still, like most dog parks around town, the owners were all pretty keyed into their dogs behaviors and we didn't have any problems.

    Nice park with many activities. However the dog park is not…read morefenced properly. Our dog got through the fence and ended up miles away and hurt herself doing so. Fortunately she had a name tag with phone number and we got her back that night. If they don't fix the fence you need to stay right with your dog, which defeats the purpose of the park.
