Beautiful Lake Gaston offers 20,000 acres of water that are a magnet for vacationers, fishermen, and water sports enthusiasts. The lake straddles the North Carolina and Virginia state borders and features plenty of boat ramps, fishing piers, picnic spots and swimming areas. Anglers will find that Lake Gaston is well stocked with the most popular regional game fish including striped bass, largemouth bass – even walleye. We think this area is also the Rockfish capital of the world. It’s the top spot in the area to enjoy a laid-back lifestyle.
