Review:
Nestled in the undulating hills of Piedmont in Central Virginia, Sandy River Lake is a small reservoir that is fed by Little Sandy Creek, Marrowbone Creek, and the Sandy River, and it is a fantastic fishing spot.
The reasonably unknown reservoir is a bustling warm-water fishery and home to an abundance of fish ranging from channel catfish, black and white crappie, and bluegill to redear sunfish, chain pickerel, and trophy-sized largemouth bass.
Access to the lake is from the 150-foot fishing pier or via a double lane concrete boat ramp, and only electric motor boats are allowed.
The lake is surrounded by a 300-acre nature area that is full of birds and wildlife, and the quiet coves, rocky shore, and hidden sandy beaches are best explored by canoe or kayak.
