Virginia features some spectacular landscapes, from the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains to the gently undulating hills of the Piedmont Valley. Scattered across this beautiful countryside are a plethora of lakes and reservoirs that not only provide flood control, hydroelectric power, and drinking water but also offer a wealth of outdoor recreational activities. Visitors can find a tranquil body of water almost anywhere in the state to enjoy boating, fishing, canoeing and kayaking, pontooning, swimming, and relaxing on a sandy beach.
