carvins cove natural reserve印象
-
We went here as a family and had a picnic and kayaking. I have never been on this lake before and it was great. We had a wonderful time.
-
We love Carvins Cove. A few bucks for all 4 of us to get in and a few more and we have a boat. Pack lunch, find a serene spot and we have a mini adventure.
-
We like biking out on the trails and finding a spot along the lake to relax. There are trails for all levels of adventure!

I was surprised to drive in and find that all (16 and up) who wanted to set foot on the property had to pay a "user fee." There were boats available for rent as well as a boat ramp, a walking trail and pavilion, but we didn't think it was worth the fee since we only wanted a place to have a picnic.

This reservoir, about 8 miles outside of town, is kept nice by limiting boat sizes. It is great for paddling and there are many miles of trails around it. Only downside was that some of the mountain bikers on the trails were very rude and acted like we were in their way as we were hiking, not riding.

This is a great place to see wildlife and relax with the family. Many large black bears live here, as well as deer, fox, coyotes, squirrels, rabbits, bobcats, and any lake fairing species. The Appalachian trail runs through the reserve. There is easy access by driving and parking, hiking in from 2 different directions of the AT, or an easier footpath from a back road. The AT hike from Tinker mountain is very steep.

Lots of trails, beautiful lake. And a very peaceful setting. It is not a well publicized outdoor spot but it is worth seeing. It is owned by the water authority so there is no swimming allowed but you can take a small boat out on the water and can fish as well.
-
Ample parking, beautifully maintained. Could offer a bit more to those coming to do some water activity. Perhaps row boats? Paddle boats? Or events that could educate by offering a course in studying some type of forestry? Water management? Bird or other wildlife studies? Good for biking and hiking. I've taken my kyak there a couple times, but if you do frequent it to get in the water, it is a bit pricey. Overall, not bad to hop in your car and disappear in to nature.

This a small reservoir for the city of Roanoke and surroundig areas. There are two ways to get into the reserve one is off of Rt 11 just north of Roanoke. The other way is through Bennett Springs off Rt 311. The big attraction for me was miles of mountain bike trails that range from beginners to expert. every time I ride I see bear, deer, turkey, and some things I'm not sure I want to know. Make sure you bring water and basic maintenance equipment in case you pop a chain it is a long walk out

This is gem in the Roanoke Valley. This park surrounds the water source lake of Roanoke City. No swimming is allowed but you can boat there. Off of route 311 you can access a road that will take you to a parking lot that has miles and miles of great bike trails through a beautiful woodland landscape. You can also hike and if enter from the Route 11 side you park at the boat dock and rent a boat or take a short walk to a lovely picnic area.
