About Claytor Lake State Park

Claytor Lake State Park sits on the shore of a large reservoir in Pulaski County, Virginia. Visitors can fish from the shoreline in most areas, rent boats or paddle gear, and swim at a guarded beach during the summer. The park also offers hiking and biking on several short trails, picnic shelters, and playgrounds. Overnight options include cabins, lodges, yurts, a camping lodge, and tent and RV campsites. A visitor center in the historic Howe House offers exhibits on lake ecology, and a meeting facility hosts weddings and reunions.
