The treasure of Halifax County (and neighboring counties) is Lake Gaston. At 34-miles long with more than 350 miles of shoreline, Lake Gaston is an impressive body of water that touches five counties in two states. It runs from Virginia’s John H. Kerr Reservoir on the western side to Roanoke Rapids Lake on the eastern side. Originally built as a flood control project in the 1960s, the lake has since become a hub of recreational activity as well as a choice location for a vacation home or investment property.

One of the primary attractions for homeowners and water sports enthusiasts alike is the excellent quality of Lake Gaston’s waters. Exceptionally clean and stable, the Lake is beautiful year-round – even when it’s busy with boaters, skiers and fishermen. The fishing community appreciates the lake’s healthy stock of game fish, including bass, walleye and catfish.

Another feature of the Lake Gaston/Halifax County area is the central location. Lake Gaston is located roughly halfway between Richmond, Va., and Raleigh, N.C. Shopping, dining, entertainment, education and medical services are all within driving distance.
