Area Attractions

Eagle Pointe Shores is located on Leesville Lake in the heart of Central Virginia, approximately 45 minutes south of Lynchburg, an area known for its rich history and natural beauty. Leesville Lake is renowned for its deep, emerald green water and record-setting striped bass, thus playing host to some of the area’s most avid fishermen. The lake itself is 17 miles long, running between Smith Mountain Dam and Leesville Dam, covering about 3500 acres.

The area also includes several
golf courses and access to a nationally recognized hospital at Centra Health.

As a gateway to the Blue Ridge Mountains, the rolling hills and quaint main street towns will capture your heart with their down home feel and charming, historic architecture while maintaining close proximity to such cities as Danville, Roanoke, and Charlottesville. Secluded, yet not far removed, it’s an ideal setting for vacation or retirement.
