Leesville Lake Marina

Leesville Lake Marina is located on the Roanoke River at Leesville Lake near Gretna in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. This access point serves as a gateway to the Roanoke River, a major river system that spans 377 miles from its headwaters to the ocean. The Roanoke River at this location is part of a significant drainage system covering nearly 9,400 square miles, making it a substantial waterway for recreational use.

The water conditions at Leesville Lake are typically calm, as the lake is formed by a dam impoundment on the Roanoke River. With an average flow of approximately 9,688 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 6.65 feet per second, boaters should be aware that conditions can vary, particularly downstream from the dam where current may increase. The river's elevation at this point is relatively low in its overall profile, indicating you are in the lower Piedmont region as the river makes its journey toward the Coastal Plain.

This marina facility is suitable for a variety of recreational boats and paddling activities. Boaters should contact the facility directly for current information regarding amenities, launch fees, operating hours, and any specific regulations. Being a developed marina facility, it likely offers better access and services compared to primitive launches, making it accessible for recreational users of varying experience levels.
