Horsepen Lake

Horsepen Lake is a 19-acre impoundment located entirely within the Horsepen Wildlife Management Area in Buckingham County, Virginia. The lake is one of several department-owned lakes created in the 1930's.

The lake underwent repairs on the riser tower after the lake developed serious leaks in 2001. The impoundment is now full and was restocked in the summer of 2002. Fishing reopened in the spring of 2005. Horsepen is managed for warmwater fish species including largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and channel catfish.
