Reviews
They did a really nice job with this park. Great water access, trails, boat rentals, picnic area with grills, really nice bathrooms. I’m a big fan! Plenty of parking and it doesn’t require a hike to enjoy the water (although you certainly can knock out a few miles).
Went and explored the new park and facilities, everything is wonderfully maintained to include the public restrooms!
Fishing, kayaking, hiking and more
The pavilions were all reserved so there were only 2 picnic tables and they were taken. Most of the parks trails are not stroller friendly, but there are some paved paths and well mulched ones as well. The signs all say no swimming, but we saw some people jumping in
This new park opened last October and is located on the east side of the reservoir. It offers a welcome center, pavilions, kayak rentals and numerous trails around the reservoir. Great place for a family to explore nature by land or water
Beautiful, peaceful, and well-designed.
Reservoir Park is one of the most scenic and relaxing places I’ve visited in Virginia. The walking trails around the water are clean, well-marked, and offer plenty of shade. Perfect for a morning walk, afternoon paddle, or a peaceful picnic.
The park has excellent facilities — clean restrooms, picnic pavilions, a boat launch, and even kayak and paddleboard rentals. The views of Beaverdam Reservoir are stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset.
There are also educational signs throughout the park explaining local wildlife and environmental conservation, which adds a thoughtful touch.
Parking is free and easy, and the space never feels too crowded. Whether you’re here for fishing, a family outing, or just some quiet nature time, Reservoir Park delivers.
Highly recommend bringing bug spray and a camera — it’s a nature lover’s dream!
