Gravel parking, but I think that the roads are paved. Doable even in a low-clearance vehicle.
The first time you go, the entrances are along a hilly road, so you might miss the entrances. The main section has two narrow entry/egress lanes. I think that there is a third entrance for fishing as well. One of the entry/egress lanes is along a bit of a hillside. Try not to let it phase you too much if someone is coming toward you. Just drive slowly, and you'll probably do just fine. Enjoy! =)
It was nice. There where a lot of people there
The park also features athletic fields, picnic pavilions, a playground, a dog park, and lots of space for hiking and other activities. Boat rentals and bait sales are NOT AVAILABLE.
Beautiful! We had fun on the playground and watching the geese & ducks!
I go to Mountain Run Lake Park mainly for fishing. While it once was a real honey hole, it has deteriorated over the years, I guess mostly due to overfishing.
Boat access to Mountain Run Lake with appropriate permits; small dock by boat launch; I think that fishing is permitted, with license and per regulations; picnic pavilions and restrooms, although I don't know if the restrooms are open often, or have soap and water; grassy dog park; tall pine or related evergreen trees in some parts; a good playground that gets some usage in the evenings and on weekends; some swings. Beautiful lake and sunset views. Driving by, you might even see the mountains in the background.
I believe that it is maintained by a local charity group -- maybe the Lions Club. Not a huge park, but it's decent-sized and quite nice nonetheless.
In addition to a VA state fishing license, one is also required to buy a Mtn. Run/Pelham lake fishing permit, and if you have one or more boats, you will need to buy a sticker for each one. Fishing permits and boat stickers each cost $20 for 2 years and are available at Town Hall on Main St.
The park was hard to find but once you get there or was worth the trip. It's a beautiful park, the shelters are big, and the playground is in great shape for the children. The bathroom is centrally located between all the shelters. The grill is small, so bring your own.
