Gaston’s New Character
By Deborah S. Nelson, Author/Publisher VRTG
Believe it or not, Lake Gaston is not named after the arrogant hunter in the story of Beauty and the Beast. However, when I think of Lake Gaston I cannot help but think of the dashing, yet wicked character, Gaston, from the story. Nevertheless, Lake Gaston does actually share one characteristic with Belle’s ruthless admirer—beauty. And just as Gaston was overflowing with attractive masculinity, Lake Gaston flourishes with abundant watersports. Like Gaston’s lush flowing hair, Lake Gaston’s rich woodlands are bustling with lively nature. And, while Gaston’s charming eyes entice, Lake Gaston’s cozy cottages invite. Lake Gaston is no doubt a dreamy destination.
Lakd Gaston and Surrounding Areas
The lake extends 350 miles along the Virgina and North Carolina coastline. Notably, the area’s calm settling has attracted retirees since the 1970s. Nevertheless, America’s hydroelectric reservoir is also popular for its outstanding fishing. Striped bass, Largemouth bass, Bluegill, Blue catfish, and Chain pickerel are just some of the fish wildlife in the local area. Furthermore, Lake Gaston offers superb water recreational activities. Examples include wakeboarding, water skiing, boating, kayaking, and swimming. Furthermore, on the Virginia side, visitors gain access to the Tanglewood Shores Country Club with legendary golfing, plus the Rosemont Winery. Lakefront camping is also possible with Lake Gaston Americamps. On the other hand, you must visit Goat Island. Children will love scavenging after the mysterious goats. Finally, after a generous retreat to nature, visit the cities booming with delicious meals, theaters, and modern entertainment.
