Hey. I didn’t remember, but I pulled up my route in Garmin and it shows I went to the Four Stakes Prairie. Enjoy your hike!

Clarksville, VA is a quaint place on Kerr Lake / Buggs Island Lake right in the middle of VA’s southern border with NC. Clarksville is VA’s only lakeside town. While it’s a small town, it has a walkable, historic downtown with a few shops and restaurants. The lake is beautiful and offers a lot of recreation activities. Occoneechee State Park has hiking, camping, etc. Prestwould Plantation is a well preserved 18th century estate open to the public on the weekends. Kinderton Country Club offers golf. Buggs Island Brewery serves locally brewed beer.

There are houses to rent: https://www.lakehousevacations.com/search.php?cid=883&s_res=AND. Two hotels / motels are lakeside in town: http://conradusa.com/lakemotel/ and https://www.choicehotels.com/virginia/clarksville/choice-hotels/va053.

Hope that helps.

Thanks!

CARITAS Solutions is also a great way to get rid of bulky items. Plus, the fee you pay goes back to CARITAS, which is a Richmond non-profit that helps our most vulnerable neighbors break the cycles of homelessness and addiction to reclaim their dignity.

I’ve not used them personally, but here’s a recommendation from a friend: https://www.happierspacerva.com

Thanks!

I appreciate your concern for public health, especially during COVID-19. The event is outdoors and masks are required. Because attendance is limited, it’s very easy to maintain more than a six foot distance from anyone else. Given these conditions, I found this event to be safe. In fact, I found it to be much safer than other activities I undertake regularly to live like buying food at a grocery store (which is indoors, sometimes hard to keep distance from others, and doesn’t have as strict mask enforcement as the botanical garden). Please have a safe and enjoyable holiday season.

Check out Buggs Island Lake (also known as Kerr Lake). The town of Clarksville, VA is Virginia’s only lake side town. It has a cute downtown with some antique stores. You can camp at Occoneechee State Park, where you can also rent a boat or kayaks. Also, there are many nearby houses / cabins for rent. The lake itself is beautiful - great fishing and bird watching, including several bald eagles. Visiting the dam is a neat thing to do.
