Welcome to life on Kerr Lake

Located in Northern North Carolina and Southern Virginia, Kerr Lake is situated on over 50,000 acres, and has over 850 miles of shoreline. Kerr Lake is the largest lake in North Carolina, and is one of the largest lakes in the south.  It is a manmade lake developed in 1952 to produce electricity and to provide flood control.

Kerr Lake provides excellent fishing, as there is a great population of bass, catfish, crappie, and others.  Many Fishing tournaments are held here throughout the year, and draw quite a crowd.

Many locals live on the lake throughout the summer months, as water sports are greatly enjoyed on Kerr‘s open waters.  There are plenty of public access ramps to launch your boat or Jet Ski's or canoes or other water toys.  There are many parks and recreation areas also provided by North Carolina & Virginia to enjoy a cookout or party at the lake.   In July, you can enjoy the wonderful fireworks display on the lake from the boat.  This is quite an attraction, and most people make a day of it, either on land, or by boat...bringing plenty of food for the family or to share with a neighboring boat if you wish. 

Since North Carolina enjoys a warmer climate than neighboring states to the north throughout the year, you can enjoy the lake all year long.  It is not uncommon to be out on the lake fishing on a warm Christmas eve or New Years.   The lake is also enjoyed by thousands of vacationers each year who stay in Henderson, NC close by hotels or lake vacation homes.  

If you would like to enjoy lake life either full time or in the summer months, then you may want to look into purchasing on or near Kerr Lake.  Compared to a lot of other water front areas, Henderson & surrounding area's are quite affordable.  You can also find a great deal on a home that only requires a ten minute or less drive to the lake, and don't worry about hauling your boat, I forgot to mention that Kerr lake has three marina's, one is located on Satterwhite Point Road here in Henderson.
