About Holliday Lake State Park
Holliday Lake State Park is a state park located within the confines of Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest in Virginia. The land was cleared as farmland in the 1880s before being returned to its forested state in the mid-20th century. The 150-acre lake was created by a dam built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration during the Depression. Although once considered an emergency landing area for float planes, the park is now known for its fishing opportunities.
