Beautiful natural state park. Well maintained. Cabins are very clean and nice. Hiking trails are well maintained and some are along the water. All of the park rangers were very nice and helpful. Fantastic fishing.

Great place for a family day trip! We had a blast!! Wasn't packed and had a great time!
Nestled in the heart of the Cumberland State Forest in central Virginia, Bear Creek Lake is less than an hour west of Richmond. It's the perfect getaway for the outdoor enthusiast. Activities center on the 40-acre lake with a boat launch, fishing pier, boat rentals and a swimming beach. Other attractions include a meeting facility, cabins, camping, picnicking, an archery range and playgrounds. Guests also enjoy the park's trails and access to the adjoining 16,000-acre Cumberland State Forest, including the 14-mile Cumberland Multi-use Trail, which is available for hiking, biking and horseback riding.
