If you are looking for great outdoor adventure and recreation this summer then a weekend at Twin Lakes State Park might just be what you’re looking for! 

Let's Go Fishing

Not only does our park’s location offer access to some of the best fishing opportunities in Central Virginia, it also allows our guests the perfect opportunity to explore central Virginia by air, by bike, and by stream.  

While it is true that we offer hiking, biking, swimming, and lake boating opportunities at Twin Lakes State Park, it’s our surrounding area that really allows you to enjoy the best of all recreational worlds. 

3-Hour Session in the Oaks

Just a few minutes down the road are our friends at The Adventure Park At Sandy River Retreat, Central Virginia’s largest aerial adventure park. Featuring over 60 obstacles and 17 zip lines, this safe, challenging treetop rope course takes excitement to new heights.

This popular adventure fills up fast, so be sure to make your reservation here.

Overnight visitors to Twin Lakes State Park receive 15% off The Adventure Park zip line course!

Bike it or Hike it

Another great thing about our location at Twin Lakes State Park is our proximity to High Bridge Trail State Park. A main attraction of the local area, this 31-mile long rails-to-trails product is a landmark to be experienced. If our visitors are interested in riding the trail (but forgot to bring their bikes), they should visit The Outdoor Adventure Store in downtown Farmville. In addition to being a camping outfitter and the place for bike repairs, the store also provides bike rentals to the general public for use on the trail. They have a wide selection of bikes to choose from (from cruiser to mountain to even motorized bikes) at reasonable rates (from an hour trip to the bridge and back to a full day, 62-mile grand tour of the trail). You can visit the store and make bike reservations here. 

What-SUP

Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUP) are available to rent at Twin Lakes State Park as well as canoes, kayaks, row boats and even paddle boats.

More to Explore 

Yet sometimes our visitors desire to branch out or they crave even more water to paddle around in.  The nearby Sandy River Outdoor Adventures has them covered. With a canoe or kayak rental, visitors can enjoy a nice day on the Sandy River Reservoir. With 700 acres of fully stocked waters, the reservoir is the recreational paddler’s (and angler’s) dream come true. 

And as if that weren’t enough, they also offer a relaxing river float by kayak that takes paddlers on a nice two-hour trip from Buffalo Creek to the Appomattox River near downtown Farmville. You can find out more information and make reservations here.

Your Adventure Awaits You

Add in all the history the area has to offer (from The Civil War to Civil Rights) and you have the perfect recreational paradise for a well-rounded vacation. 

Twin Lakes State Park has 33 campsites, 7 cabins, and a 16-bed lodge available for rental to accommodate all of your needs. Be sure to take advantage of our pilot program this summer where the two-night minimum on cabin stays is available all season long (you won't have to rent the cabin for an entire week if you just want a short getaway). Check availability or reserve online here or call 1-800-933-7275.
