Outdoor Activities and Facilities
Children's
playground - (25 by 40 ft) includes swings, slides, private kids only
clubhouse
and a children's size picnic table under a shaded roof.
The floor
of the playground is thick with wood chips. Playground
is located
just below the main house deck on the north side
so adults
can keep an eye on children playing.
Private
Harbor - has two long docks that extend out then turn and join together to
form a tall gazebo over the water for great views. the harbor is great for
swimming without the worry of passing boats!
Harbor Misting - For those sweltering hot days there is a water sprinkler
system built into the dock/gazebo. This system pumps cool lake water all around
the harbor cooling you with fine mists. The pumps is on a switch timer which can
be operated by any adult.
Breakwater structures - The harbor area has two breakwater seating
platforms. One has a roof for those who want shelter from the sun.
Docks on the west side extend out and join the gazebo over the water and
together
form your own private harbor.
Docks
on the
south side are located by the all concrete boat ramp.
Boat Ramp - is 20ft wide and has handled boats up to 38ft long.
Beach
deck- overlooks the beach and entire harbor.
Two canoes are available for your use. They are kept locked and you will
be
given a key so
you can determine who will use them. Life
preservers
and paddles are also provided.
Eagle Totum pole overlooking the beach deck with a pavilion on one side

Just some of the great sites you will see here at EMERY POINT
(Click on the pictures to enlarge)
Campfire pit -
has several benches and is located on the north west point.
Camping - You may use tents if you wish, but please ask where to set them
up as we
have an
underground sprinkler system. We would like to avoid driving a stake through a
sprinkler pipes.
Fitness equipment is located in the garage. You'll find a multi-station
nautilus
work out
area as well as a stair stepper and free weights. (you
really
should be out water skiing)
Volleyball court has shade tree nearby for spectators. Don't worry if the
ball goes in the water because there is a ladder built into the seawall.
Swings and Hammocks - Three person swings for sitting, reading or just to
get away by yourself for a while.
Double horseshoe pits have shade trees on both ends for those hot days.
Basketball Hoop
is movable
with ample paved area for play.
Fishing- is great right off the dock. We catch large mouth bass, striped
bass, catfish, carp, bluegills and an occasional stickfish. The present law is
that you do not need a fishing license if you are fishing off your land, or a
dock or wall attached to that land. But once you depart from the land, you need
a license. There are many local stores to buy a license. Check with Virginia
Fish and Game folks for the laws at the time of your rental. There are also
fishing guides on the lake that will, for a fee, show you how, when and where to
catch fish on the lake.
Birds- We have installed six of the four story tall purple martin houses
around the property. We also have many hummingbird feeders. Both purple martins
and hummingbirds are fun to watch for both kids and adults.
Eagles, Ospreys, & Hawks- Keep an eye on the sky because we see several
eagles, hawks and osprey in the area. We often have eagles roost in the tall
trees to the north of the parking lot.
