Facilities

Boating & Fishing

Lake Reidsville is renowned for its big bass, crappie, catfish, bream and other fish. Fishing can be done from boats or designated bank fishing areas. A dock with 26 slips makes the lake easily accessible by boat. Boat fishermen will find exciting fishing action along the lake's miles of shoreline.

New Fishing Piers

Reidsville City Council approved in December of 2006 the construction of two new piers at Lake Reidsville. The largest pier replaced the existing pier and made it handicap accessible. A smaller pier was placed in the vicinity of Shelter #1. Construction of the piers was completed in 2007, and the new piers were dedicated.

Campground

Lake Reidsville has an extraordinarily picturesque campground featuring 46 campsites bordering the lake. All of the sites have water and electricity. Additionally, 27 of the camping areas have on site dumping facilities. The sites are close to shower facilities and restrooms. The campground has a separate docking area with 10 boat slips, a fishing pier and nature trails.

Shelters

The lake's six picnic shelters may be reserved for a modest fee for your family reunion, corporate picnic or other group activities. Shelter #1 can accommodate more than 100 people while Shelter #5 near the lake can seat between 150-200 people comfortably. Shelter #6 can host a large crowd while the three remaining shelters are well suited to smaller, more intimate gatherings. In addition, numerous picnic tables and grills are scattered along the woodline. Following your meal, take a walk along one of the nature trails the park provides and walk off those calories!

Amphitheater

Constructed in 2001, the lake's amphitheater was constructed in memory of Reidsville businessman E. Howard Boyd by his daughter, Susan Boyd. Half of the costs were paid through local contributions. The amphitheater, which includes electrical outlets and lights, faces a large open field that can accommodate large crowds.
