Occoneechee State Park is on Buggs Island Lake, also known as known as the John H. Kerr Reservoir. It's Virginia’s largest lake. The park has 18.1 miles of trails that allow guests to experience up-close the history of the Occoneechee Indians and plantation life in the 1800s. The state began leasing the land for recreational use from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1968.
