     Burrus Dam is a wonderful site near Burrus Lake, and why not camp at Cedar Mountain Campground while you're here at Burrus Lake. Lakes are such peaceful places, why not check out Linden Pond near Burrus Lake, and after a long day outdoors Red Carpet Inn Orange is a fine site to spend a night or two. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Robinson River, and a fine location to camp here at Burrus Lake is Lake Anna State  
   Park. All the water falling down from the sky makes Burrus Lake a wet site; during the month of May you get the most rain around here, and the driest of the months is January.
Life's too short to enjoy all the enjoyable things near Burrus Lake. There are other places here than Burrus Lake, for example House Lake. High temperatures at Burrus Lake during the summer months are in the 80's with nighttime lows in the 60's. Through the winter highs are in the

Whitlock Millpond
16 miles away
Whitlock Millpond (very old maps show it as Hancock's Mill Pond) used to be a beautiful place. It was hard to get to and, as a result, I only visited once when I went fishing there as a child with my father and my grandfather (early- to mid-1960s). It was a wild, snaky place. My grandfather, who lived nearby, told me the dam which fed the abandoned mill had been built by slaves using stone quarried nearby.
Sadly, the dam was breached and the remains of the mill were swept away by the flooding that accompanied Hurricane Camille in 1968. Since then, what was the pond has filled with trees and only a small creek remains. In 2006 I tried to get over to where the remains of the dam are, but the owner of the land I had to cross just looked at me like I had lost my mind. I guess it is wilder and snakier than ever now....

Hughes River and Hazel River
17 miles away
If you are paddling the hazel this is a heads up when taking out at the low water bridge on monument mills road. The property owners there are real not so friendly. They think they own the river itself. Just a heads up....Some B and B's are near the put-in and take-out for the Hughes. La Bella Terra at 605 and 606 in Madison County is a weekend B and B in season (May-September)and near the take out. It also offers farmhouse dining on Sat. 540 547 2317....
