Longwood Park is located on John H. Kerr Reservoir, a 50,000-acre lake that extends 39 miles up the wooded, cove-studded shoreline of the Roanoke River in Virginia and North Carolina. Kerr Reservoir, also known as Buggs Island Lake, was created with the construction of the John H. Kerr Dam in 1952. Its 800 miles of wooded shoreline stretch across six counties and two states and offer countless recreation opportunities for visitors. Public lands around the lake are open to hunting with appropriate state licenses. Game species include whitetail deer, wild turkey, bobwhite quail, mourning dove, gray squirrel, cottontail rabbit, fox and raccoon. Resident waterfowl species include wood duck, black duck, mallard and Canadian geese. There are 26 Wildlife Management Areas around the lake that provide year-round opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, birding and more. The lake is widely known for fishing, with largemouth bass, striped bass, crappie and flathead catfish available. Hunting and fishing on the Virginia side, where the lake is known as Buggs Island Lake, are regulated by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Visitors to Longwood Park will enjoy the lakeside view. There are 66 sites for tents or RVs, and amenities like hot showers, flush toilets and a dump station provide a comfortable camping experience. A swimming beach and picnic shelter make the campground ideal for families. Longwood Park is forested and offers plenty of shade. It is located on the Grassy Creek part of Kerr Reservoir, only 10 minutes from Clarksville, Virginia, where shopping, gas and groceries are available. Clarksville Marina is about 15 minutes away by highway, and approximately 30 minutes by water.
