Review:
Fed by the fertile waters of the Chickahominy River, Chickahominy Lake is a beautiful tree-lined reservoir with fish-filled waters that lure birdwatchers, photographers, and fishers throughout the year to enjoy its bounty.
The beautiful scenery of both the Chickahominy River and the lake, which was created in 1943 and for decades has drawn visitors who come to soak up the spectacular natural landscapes and enjoy all that the lake has to offer.
Located in the Tidewater and Hampton Roads area of Virginia, Chickahominy Lake was initially built to provide water for military bases during wartime but today provides the water supply for the Newport News Waterworks.
It has an excellent fishery and is a favorite recreation spot.
