About
Grassy Creek Park sits on the wooded shores of John H. Kerr Reservoir, a 50,000-acre impoundment also known as Buggs Island Lake, created by the completion of John H. Kerr Dam in 1952. The reservoir extends 39 miles along the Roanoke River with over 800 miles of shoreline spanning Virginia and North Carolina. Grassy Creek is the only recreation area managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Kerr Reservoir that is located in North Carolina. The park provides day-use facilities including a designated swimming beach equipped with a life jacket loaner station, a two-lane boat ramp with wooden dock for water access, and multiple shaded picnic areas with tables and grills. A group picnic shelter accommodating up to 50 people is available for reservation through Recreation.gov. The shelter includes a large grill and picnic tables but has no electricity. The lake offers excellent fishing opportunities for largemouth bass, striped bass, crappie, and catfish species. Clarksville, Virginia is approximately 10 minutes away with shopping, gas, groceries, and marina services. Note that overnight camping is prohibited at Grassy Creek Park; campers seeking overnight accommodations should consider nearby Longwood Park or other Kerr Reservoir campgrounds.
