    Philpott Lake is a great lake in an area with lots of outdoors fun all around. Bowens Branch flows through this region, and Burch Hollow is also a pleasant spot to explore. You're sure to encounter some good people from Martinsville here, and don't forget to stop at Mize Point since you're here. This lake is so wonderful. There's whitewater on Smith River for all you adrenaline kick people; lakes are such peaceful locations, why not explore Hales Ponds.
