About the Lake Property Near Clarksville, VA

We offer properties on 2 different lakes near Clarksville, VA. The first body of water is Kerr Lake, which is sometimes referred to as Buggs Island Lake. The other is Island Creek Reservoir, which is adjacent to Kerr Lake. Contact us today for additional information about our waterfront real estate.

The Kerr Lake or Buggs Island Lake is the same lake. It is roughly split in half by the NC/VA border. Most people in NC refer to the lake as Kerr Lake, and those in VA generally call it Buggs Island Lake. Kerr Lake is huge, encompassing over 50,000 acres and over 800 miles of shoreline. The USA Corps of Engineers owns the land around the lake and manages it for flood control, recreation, and power generation. Only a small part of the undeveloped land on the lake is in the "green zone," which permits docks, access trails, and beach areas at the shoreline. All of the lands we offer are in the "green" or "yellow" zone. Both zones allow clearing specified in the Shoreline Management Plan with the Corps of Engineers.

Island Creek Reservoir is a very peaceful and quiet lake property, which has only 13 houses on it. It is locally referred to as the "Little Lake," but it is anything but little. However, besides Kerr Lake, almost any lake is small. This lake is about 2 miles long and has over 8 miles of shoreline. It is separated from Kerr Lake by a dam. You can't go between the lakes by boat, but that is what keeps the Little Lake so peaceful and quiet.
