Lake Gaston
This nearby Lake is one of many in the chain of lakes along the Roanoke River Basin. It begins at the upstream Kerr Dam in VA, and flows more than 34 miles over the Lake Gaston Dam into the Roanoke Rapids Lake in NC. LGA was formed in 1988 for the purpose of maintaining and enhancing the quality of recreational and residential enjoyment on Lake Gaston. The Lake Gaston Association is involved in a number of projects that affect property value and the quality of life on our Lake.
