Twin Lakes State Park
Twin Lakes State Park, State park with dual lakes in Prince Edward County, Virginia.
Twin Lakes State Park spans 548 acres of central Virginia land, featuring two connected bodies of water: Prince Edward Lake at 36 acres and Goodwin Lake at 15 acres.
During the Great Depression, the federal government established two separate recreational areas in 1939, Prince Edward Lake and Goodwin Lake, from land acquired from local farmers.
The park's creation in 1950 represented a significant step in Virginia's civil rights progress, as it emerged from a legal challenge regarding access to state recreational facilities.
Visitors can access six miles of hiking trails, rent boats, fish for largemouth bass and catfish, or stay in one of eleven climate-controlled cabins throughout the year.
The Cedar Crest Conference Center overlooks Prince Edward Lake and connects to an 8-mile multi-use trail system in the neighboring Prince Edward-Gallion State Forest.
