Review:
Tucked away in the gentle hills and woodlands of C. M. Crockett Park, Germantown Lake is a 109-acre lake in Fauquier County that provides an array of watersports from dawn to dusk.
Created in 1985 by damming Licking Run to help control flooding, the reservoir is renowned for its large populations of fish, which attract anglers who come to catch channel catfish, bluegill, crappie, and largemouth bass.
Only electric motor boats are allowed on the lake, and there are both shore access points and boat ramps for launching craft.
Germantown Lake is located about seven miles from the Washington, D.C. suburb of Warrenton in Midland, and while there are no vacation rentals around the lake, overnight visitors can stay in Warrenton.
