Henderson Point

Henderson Point Park offers excellent 24-hour boat access to Kerr Lake (also known as Buggs Island Lake), one of the largest and most productive fishing lakes in the eastern United States. Located in Woodworth, Vance County, this access point features two boat ramps suitable for launching kayaks, canoes, and larger recreational vessels. The facility is part of the John H. Kerr Dam and Reservoir recreation area and provides year-round access to the 50,000-acre reservoir that extends 39 miles along the Roanoke River corridor.

The park includes camping facilities with tent, trailer, and RV options (some with electric and water hookups), making it ideal for extended paddling trips or weekend outings. An accessible fishing pier is available on-site. For paddlers seeking additional services, Steele Creek Marina nearby offers kayak and paddleboard rentals, as well as marine supplies, fuel, and a boat store. The area is known for good wildlife viewing, including osprey sightings, and provides reliable access to a well-maintained reservoir suitable for various water activities year-round.
