Lake Meade is a 512-acre lake in Suffolk, Virginia, under 25 miles from Norfolk and Portsmouth. It is the youngest Portsmouth water supply reservoir and is under 40 miles from coastal fun at Virginia Beach.

The Norfolk International Airport is under 40 miles away, and the Sentara Obici Hospital is under five miles away. Residents can shop for groceries and necessities at several stores and markets within 10 miles.

On and Around the Water

Lake Meade has plenty of space for residents to enjoy the water and is surrounded by other lake options with Kilby Lake and Speight’s Run Lake on one arm and Lake Cohoon on the other.

Anglers will love that the lake is stocked annually with striped bass and also provides good fishing for largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie, and redear sunfish.

Gas motors up to 9.9 horsepower are allowed on the lake, provided boaters have obtained a permit from the city. The Cohoon-Meade Fishing Station has a paved ramp, boat rentals, tackle, and bank fishing spots.

Lake Meade Park is a great place for children to play and families and friends to gather. The park is on the eastern side of the lake and includes a dog park, a grill, a playground, a nature trail, picnic shelters, restrooms, and tennis courts.
