Gasburg, VA

Tucked along the northern shores of Lake Gaston in Brunswick County, Gasburg offers a peaceful, laid-back setting right on the Virginia-North Carolina border. Life here revolves around the water, with easy access to hundreds of miles of shoreline for boating, bass fishing, and weekend paddling. While it is a quiet, rural community of just a few hundred people, you will find great outdoor recreation right in your backyard, with nearby towns handling bigger errands, schools, and healthcare.

A central hub of local activity is the Lake Gaston Resort, which brings together boat ramps, a marina, casual dining, and family-friendly amenities along the water. Nearby, historic spots like the Kennon House add a touch of classic Southside Virginia charm to the area. Summertime brings a lively hum of boaters and visitors to the docks, but Gasburg settles into a quiet, close-knit rhythm throughout the rest of the year, making it an appealing spot for retirees and lake lovers.
