Improvements are coming. Parking has always been an issue. They need to open it up a bit more and make it more of an attraction.

Great place for a peaceful walk. We saw a HUGE buck. Our dog Finn loved all the sights and smells too!

With everything re-opening, I was wondering if swimming is allowed near shore? I looked and I couldn’t find any recent information on swimming.

Is my dog allowed to go into the water leashed and with a life vest on?

Hi Pagie. Thank you for reaching out. Swimming in the reservoir is not permitted for humans or domestic animals. The Reservoir is a drinking water source for Loudoun County and Loudoun Water is very strict on this policy as protection of the water source is a high priority. Allowing public swimming and domestic animals would introduce additional contaminants such as bodily fluids, body oils, lotions etc that can affect the water quality. I'm sorry that we cannot accommodate your request. For more information on Loudoun Water's Source Water Protection please visit: https://www.loudounwater.org/community/source-water-protection

Entering is free! And whether or not to bring the fish, I only know that it is there for sport, nothing more!

What is the maximum horse power gas boats motor allowed in the Beaverdam reservoir ? Thanks

Î an not aware that motorized boats are allowed in the Beaverdam Reservoir. I am sure it's for non motorized crafts.

Does anyone know if they restocked the reservoir with fish after draining it a couple of years ago? Thanks.

Not that I know of. But if you go to the Virginia DNR website they may have more information and you could probably email one of the biologists the same question.

There might be different sides to enter depending on where you want to go. When I went I parked on the side of street near Mt Hope Baptist Church. Make sure to wear waterproof shoes as the trail could be soggy and wet.

Hi Steve. The reservoir is still closed to water activities. Unfortunately, we still do not have an exact date for when the park will re-open. We will update the re-opening on both our Nova Parks website and Beaverdam Reservoir Facebook page as soon as we get a firm date. Thank you for your patience!
