About Holliday Lake State Park

Holliday Lake State Park sits within the Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest. Visitors fish for largemouth bass, crappie, and bluegill, swim at the lakeside beach, and walk or paddle around the water. The park has six hiking trails, including a 6.5-mile loop around the lake, plus campgrounds, picnic shelters, playgrounds, a snack bar, and a boat ramp. Canoes, kayaks, Jon boats, paddleboards, and pedal boats can be rented seasonally. The park is a short drive from Appomattox Court House National Historical Park.
