This reservoir is located in the second largest municipal park in the US in the city of Roanoke, VA. There is a $2 a day use fee, or you can purchase a year pass for $20. If you do not have a kayak you can rent one here for $7 an hour. There is also a 10 horsepower limit here so you will not be ran down by large powerboats..

A very beautiful park. Easy access to water to launch boat, kayaks... Bass fishing very good. One of the nice quite places to fish in the Roanoke Va. area.
