At Virginia’s Beach our goal is to provide a peaceful family environment and to encourage families, individuals, couples or groups to appreciate and enjoy Lake Erie and our lakefront atmosphere. |
|
|
While we do not have organized activities, our location and facilities provide a unique opportunity to experience beautiful Lake Erie and the surrounding area. In addition to the obvious time honored activities of enjoying the company of family and friends while experiencing beauty of the great outdoors, we have listed some of the activities available at Virginia’s Beach:
|
|
Beach Hiking
With our 1100 feet of frontage and easy access, you can explore miles of great lakes beach. Be prepared to get your feet wet in some places, that's part of the fun! |
|
|
Canoeing and Kayaking Launch your canoe or kayak right off our beach. Explore the beautiful, unlimited shoreline and secluded beaches. Relax with a peaceful early morning or sunset journey. |
|
|
|
Boating and Jet Skiing Take a cruise or pull a skier or tube rider along the shoreline, enjoy the sunrise or sunset on the Lake or simply anchor and relax on a secluded beach. Although Lake Erie is great for boating, care must be taken to get out if a wind change would cause large waves or unsafe conditions. |
|
|
|
Swimming The
lake bottom in front of our property is smooth, rock and sand,
and declines very gently allowing very safe and comfortable
swimming. The water is normally very clear and clean,
depending on the wave conditions, and is usually warm enough
for swimming from June to September. There are no lifeguards,
so swimming is at your own risk. Always watch children when
they are in the water.

|
|
|
Playground Our playground is available for use from 8:00AM to dark. Children 10 and under must be accompanied by a parent. Please, no pets at the playground. |
|
|
|
Arts and Crafts Kids love making souvenir crafts to remember their visit to Lake Erie. Popular activities are rock painting and creating items with beach glass, drift wood, shells and pebbles. |

Fishing  Virginia’s Beach is right in the middle of one of the greatest places to fish in the country! Lake Erie is the shallowest and warmest of the Great Lakes which allows for outstanding production of Walleye, Perch, Bass and Steelhead. We are located in the central basin, which is deeper than the western basin and generally produces larger fish. Lake fishing for Perch, Walleye, Bass and Steelhead can be done off shore, but fishing from a boat is usually more productive. Visit our fishing page for more information. •

Bicycling and Walking We have over ¾ mile of roads available for use on our 46 acre mostly wooded property. In addition, because we are located in a very rural area many roads are lightly traveled and well suited to bicycling and walking. Click here for a map of the local area. Use our path to Old Lake Road and go West to Raccoon Park, or take Ellis Road through the state game lands and loop back on Rudd Road. Go East on Old Lake Road to the Tasty Twist ice cream stand. Visit Peggy Gray’s Candy store at the intersection of Holliday and Old Lake roads for locally made candy and gifts. Ask to see their mini museum of local history, including artifacts from the Woake Hanne Lodge, which was located in the building that our office is in. From our Holliday Road entrance, go east to Holliday’s Vegetable Stand for some great sweet corn or continue on to Ables Road for a relaxing ride over Crooked Creek and through the woods to Route 5. |
