This lake is so wonderful. If you get bored of Springfield Lake, you could also take a look at close by Broad Branch Lake, and camping at Kosmo Village Campground is always a nice experience.
 
               In case you don’t mind getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on North Anna River, and you can take a little journey to The Feldspar Corporation Dam Number One if you're here at Springfield Lake. This lake is so wonderful.

August is not a wet month in this area! It tends to be drought time in Aug. and median temps are in the 90's not 80's. Great spot....

Whitlock Millpond
18 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....
