Twin Lakes State Park (Virginia)

Twin Lakes State Park is a 548-acre state park located in Prince Edward County, Virginia, near Farmville. The park's defining feature is its two lakes, Goodwin Lake (60 acres) and Prince Lake (42 acres), which were created in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

The park offers a variety of recreational activities, including swimming, fishing, boating (non-motorized and electric motors only), hiking, camping, picnicking, and nature programs. Anglers can find largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, and bluegill in the lakes. Hiking trails wind through the surrounding woodlands, providing opportunities for wildlife viewing and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

Twin Lakes State Park also features a conference building, meeting rooms, and cabins for overnight stays. It serves as a popular destination for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking a peaceful retreat in the heart of Virginia. The park's historical connection to the CCC adds a layer of cultural significance to the site.
