There's nothing more relaxing than a boat ride on the lake. We usually try to go out on the lake every Sunday in the late afternoon - often packing supper to take with us. Today was the first time in a couple of months that we've been able to go out and I had really missed it.
We put in at Longwood Park - just south of Clarksville, VA on Route 15. Longwood is such a nice park. It has a campground, picnic area with swimming area, and the boat landing. It always amazes me that we don't see more boats. We very seldom see more than a dozen boats during any trip we take out on the lake in this area.
It is a beautiful area of the lake - very peaceful - with some homes built along the shoreline but still a lot of wooded areas, too. We cruised up to Clarksville and along the shore of Occoneechee State Park (more info on Occoneechee) and then headed back toward Longwood.
I knit a little bath poof and will take a picture of it to show you soon. I think it will go well with a bar of my soap!
Wishing everyone a great week!!
ooo, how pretty!
