Kerr Lake / Buggs Island Lake

The lake offers expansive open water, quiet coves, and protected natural beauty.

Welcome to Kerr Lake / Buggs Island Lake

A relaxed lake lifestyle with small-town charm on both sides of the state line
 
John H. Kerr Reservoir—more commonly known as Kerr Lake in North Carolina and Buggs Island Lake in Virginia—is one of the largest and most scenic lakes in the Southeast. Spanning nearly 50,000 acres with over 800 miles of shoreline, the lake offers expansive open water, quiet coves, and protected natural beauty thanks to management by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This careful oversight helps maintain water quality, limits overdevelopment, and preserves the area’s long-term value.
 
Kerr Lake is beloved for its boating, fishing, swimming, and water sports, with wide-open water ideal for cruising and fishing for striped bass, largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie. Numerous access points, parks, marinas, and campgrounds make the lake easy to enjoy whether you’re a full-time resident, weekend visitor, or second-home owner.
