Bear Creek Lake State Park ποΈο½Virginia Weekend Water Fun π£π¦
This weekend, we visited Bear Creek Lake State Park β not far from Charlottesville or Richmond! It features a sandy beach and a calm lake (no motor boats allowed π«π₯οΈ), making it perfect for swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Pro tip π§: Google Maps may lead you to βBear Creek Lake Trail,β but once you pass the entrance booth ($7 parking fee π΅), just follow the road straight to the beach β no need to keep following the GPS! You can rent kayaks, paddle boards, and pedal boats right by the beach π£βοΈπΆ. The lake is small but incredibly peaceful. The swimming and boating areas are separated, but if you paddle to the middle of the lake... no oneβs stopping you from jumping in ππ¦ #Virginia #OutdoorWaterFun #LakeSwim #WaterSports #BearCreekLake #VAStateParks #WeekendGetaway #NatureEscape
