Bear Creek Lake is a 40-acre artificial lake that was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1938 as a project of the Virginia Department of Agriculture. The lake has a boat launch, fishing pier, boat rentals and a swimming beach. The lake is surrounded by natural beauty and wildlife, such as deer, turkey, squirrels, rabbits, foxes, beavers, otters, raccoons, hawks, owls, eagles and waterfowl. The lake is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy camping, picnicking, swimming, canoeing, fishing and hiking. The lake also hosts a weekly Trail Running Series in September, which is a fun and competitive event for runners of all levels. Bear Creek Lake is a great place to visit if you want to experience the beauty and tranquility of nature.

Pretty ride for miles through suburbia but you don’t feel like you are in suburbia. Mostly natural along the creek and in the forest.
