Bear Creek Lake State Park Campground
Nestled in the heart of Cumberland State Forest in central Virginia's Cumberland County, Bear Creek Lake State Park offers the amenities of the larger parks without the crowds. Activities revolve around the 40 acre lake with a boat launch, swimming beach, lakeside picnicking, cabins, camping and hiking trails. Only non-gasoline powered boats are allowed on Bear Creek Lake.
The park is surrounded by the 16,000 acre Cumberland State Forest, which provides opportunities for a wide range of outdoor activities. Four small lakes in the state forest are managed by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries for recreational fishing. A network of gated and non-gated forest roads provides hiking, mountain biking and nature observation.
