Lake Gaston's widespread appeal is further enhanced by a constant lake level that only fluctuates 6 inches up/down on average year round (even during drought conditions!). 
 

The main body is approximately 34 miles long and 1.3 miles across - a BOATERS DELIGHT for safely motor cruising, waterskiing, wakeboarding & jetskiing... or for peacefully rowing in a kayak or canoe.
 

The average depth of Lake Gaston is 40 feet, with a water surface of more than 20,000 acres.
 

With 350 miles of shoreline, you can believe the professional and weekend ANGLERS LOVE the challenge of fishing for "Bubba!"
 

Boating and water skiing are EXCELLENT on both the main body of Lake Gaston and its many creeks and coves. The water quality has a TOP RATING for its cleanliness, and is SUPERIOR for swimming.
 

All the land joining Dominion Power's Lake Gaston is privately owned lake front property.  There are no state parks, but lake access is available to the public at one of the county's boat launch sites or marinas.    
 

The real estate presents a rolling terrain of mature forests and open land with BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT HOMES nestled close to the water's edge or perched higher on a bluff to provide spectacular lake views. 
 

Lake Gaston offers a very relaxing and recreational atmosphere, yet it's an EASY DRIVE to the big city life!  You will find us on the North Carolina/ Virginia border, between I-85 on the west and I-95 on the east.  We are less than a 1.5-hour drive from Raleigh, NC or Richmond, VA.

Lake Gaston Vacation Rentals are plentiful, so its a great area for investing in waterfront properties.
