Situated only 10 minutes from Colonial Heights and Petersburg and 30 minutes from metropolitan Richmond, Lake Chesdin offers some of the best freshwater sports fishing and outdoor recreation in Virginia.
Also known as the Chesdin Reservoir, Lake Chesdin was created by the impoundment of the Appomattox River as a drinking water supply reservoir in 1968 and is currently controlled by the Appomattox River Water Authority.
Resting on the Chesterfield and Dinwiddie County lines in east-central Virginia, the lake is easily accessed and offers an array of outdoor activities such as boating, exceptional fishing, kayaking and swimming as well as hiking, mountain biking, camping, and golf.
