Mountain Run

Mountain Run is another water supply reservoir near Culpeper. It’s a 75-acre lake with wooded shores and a county park. Largemouth bass provide good fishing, and there are also crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, and an excellent redear sunfish population. The channel catfish and brown bullhead populations are among the best found in a small impoundment in Northern Virginia.

Mountain Run has a nice, if narrow, boat ramp along with a courtesy pier. There is also good shore fishing. A picnic shelter and playground are in the park adjacent to the lake.
