HISTORY

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers operates the John H. Kerr Reservoir. The impoundment of Kerr Reservoir was originally authorized for the purpose of flood control and hydroelectric generation. Various laws and regulations have expanded the reservoir’s operating authorities to include fish and wildlife conservation, recreation and water supply. The reservoir has a shoreline of approximately 800 miles and a water surface of approximately 48,900 acres. The reservoir extends approximately 39 miles upstream of the dam on the Roanoke River and approximately 19 miles upstream on the Dan River above its junction with the Roanoke River.The John H. Kerr Reservoir is located in a predominately rural area within the piedmont of Virginia and North Carolina. To say Kerr Lake is big is an understatement. The lake is one of the largest lakes in the Southeast and is also one of the most beautiful. From wooded shores to secluded coves, Kerr Lake offers fishing, boating, camping, swimming, hiking, picnicking and skiing. The lake has 11 parks and recreation areas. There are two marinas ( Satterwhite Point Marina and Steele Creek Marina) and numerous boat ramps for easy access to the lake. The marina offers fishing equipment, fuel, repairs and more. The reservoir provides habitat for many fish species including largemouth and striped bass, catfish, crappies and more and plays host to numerous state and national fishing tournaments. Along this beautiful, tranquil shoreline, Lakeshores Plantation was created.
