Review:
Surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of the James City County Parks and Recreation system, the Little Creek Lake is a 996-acre reservoir with 40 miles of shoreline and an average depth of 35 feet.
Owned by the City of Newport News, the lake was created to supply water to areas of the Virginia Peninsula and the historic James River and York River areas of Virginia.
It is also a favorite spot for a variety of outdoor recreation such as boating, fishing, and swimming.
Gas-powered boats are prohibited on the lake, but visitors can enjoy kayaking, canoeing, sailing, electric-powered boating, and fishing for black crappie, channel catfish, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, striped bass, sunfish, yellow perch, and walleye.
