Rudds Creek Rec Area Picnic Shelter

About

Rudds Creek Rec Area Picnic Shelter is a reservable day-use facility located within the Rudds Creek Recreation Area on John H. Kerr Reservoir, also known as Buggs Island Lake. The 50,000-acre reservoir stretches 39 miles along the Roanoke River across Virginia and North Carolina, offering 800 miles of wooded shoreline. The shelter itself does not have electricity but is situated near a restroom facility with flush toilets. The surrounding day-use area features picnic tables, grills, a playground, a boat ramp with courtesy dock, and a designated swimming area equipped with a life jacket loaner station. Note that this is strictly a day-use facility; overnight camping is not permitted at the shelters or day-use areas. For overnight camping, the separate Rudds Creek Campground is located across Highway 58.
