Kerr Lake.
Beauty on a grand Scale.
To say Kerr Lake is big is an understatement. Its over
850 miles of shoreline stretched across Vance County and
the North Carolina/Virginia state line. Making it one
of the largest lakes in the Southeast. It’s also one of the
most beautiful. From wooded shores to secluded coves to
tranquil picnic areas.
There Must be a Catch.
There are more fish in Kerr Lake than you can shake a
lure at. Our waters are teaming with largemouth and
striped bass, catfish, crappies and more. In fact, the
fishing is so impressive, Kerr Lake continuously
plays host to numerous state and national fishing
tournaments. So bait a hook. Drop a line. And let
the fun begin.
Bring Your Toys to
Our Playground.
Do you like to play in the water?
Kerr Lake has long been known as a haven for
boaters and skiers.
Sailboats and wind surfers cruise across endless
expanses of water. While boaters and skiers glide
across coves of glass-like water.
There are two marinas and numerous boat ramps
for easy access to the lake. What’s more, the marinas
offer fishing equipment, fuel, repairs and more.
Also, there are several public swimming areas for
you and your family to get your feet wet.
3
Few Camps Have These Sights.
The great outdoors are even greater at Kerr Lake.
Campers can choose from seven state parks and over
700 campsites.
Set up camp on a secluded, pristine beach or beneath
majestic, towering pines. Then sit back and watch the
stars and the moon dance across the sky.
We’ve made roughing it a lot smoother. Each campsite
has a picnic table, fire pit and tent pad. Modern rest
rooms as well as hot showers are easily accessible.
And electric and water hookups are available for
recreational vehicles.
We also offer numerous picnic areas nestled along the
waterfront. And there are large community buildings
to accommodate group activities.
