Swim, Ski, Fish...Relax! in Lake Gaston

Come and enjoy one of Virginia's and North Carolina's best kept
secrets! Lake Gaston is a clear and beautiful lake located in the
Piedmont of southern Virginia and northern North Carolina. It is the
last major impoundment on the Roanoke River, and offers excellent
water quality and water level fluctuations that are less than one
foot. It is 35 miles long and has over 350 miles of shoreline. Lake
Gaston is within a four hour drive of Washington DC and only two
hours from Raleigh North Carolina and Virginia Beach Virginia.

The property is located in the Quail Ridge Subdivision on Lizard
Creek, which is a major tributary on the northeast shore of the lake.
Lizard Creek is a favorite with skiers and tubers because its water
is usually calmer than the water on the main lake. It is also
centrally located, has easy access to the main lake and is close (15-
25 minutes) to three full service marinas.

A Food Lion grocery, a Subway, an Ace Hardware, and an indoor/outdoor
flea market (Friday through Sunday) are all located less than ten
minutes from the house.
Thursday night, it's bingo at the local fire hall. Restaurants are
scattered around the lake and they range from diner style to more
upscale. The closest large town is Roanoke Rapids, and is a 25
minute drive from the house. There is a strip mall with a Belk Store,
Super Wal-Mart, and other stores. There's also a movie theater and
many restaurants.

Our lake house is a comfortable single-level home with
everything you will need to make your stay at Lake Gaston an
enjoyable one. (Renters are responsible for providing their own
linens and towels.) Cable TV, video and DVD players, along with board
games and puzzles, will provide inside entertainment for family
evenings or during inclement weather.

Outside is where the real fun is! Our level lot leads to the water
and the boat dock, which is the center of lake life! Swimming,
fishing, sunbathing (don't forget the sunscreen), and relaxing on
the glider all happen right there. It's a great place to view the
beautiful evening sky and sunsets. Skiing and tubing can be started
right in front of the dock. A paddleboat is provided, and is a fun
way to explore the local waters. There is a boat ramp next to the
dock which makes for convenient launch and recovery. There is also a
covered boat docking facility available,  plus room
for a boat of up to 25 foot to be tied up to the dock.
Besides the water sports, fishing is excellent at Lake Gaston!
Available species include striped bass, largemouth bass, crappie,
perch, sunfish, and our favorite dinner fish, channel catfish.
Fishing from the dock is a favorite pastime for both young and old
alike. Early mornings and evenings are usually better, but when is
fishing not good?

Lastly, one of the best pastimes at the lake is relaxing! Whether it
be enjoying the view, reading a book, or napping in the shade on our
wonderful hammock. There is something about the lake that lets you
leave everyday stress behind for awhile. This is what we most enjoy
about our lake house. We invite you to come and see for yourself.

P.S. Fall is a great time to enjoy Lake Gaston. The water is warm,
the scenery is grand, and you can have the lake practically to
yourself.
