Waters of Lake Manassas

Lake Manassas is a deep, clear wooded lake where dozens of varieties of freshwater fish challenge both the serious and amateur fisherman.

Access to the Lake will be gained through a Marina where the whole family can fish, picnic, or just relax by the water.  Plans are still being made for the Marina.
