Veterans Memorial Dam — photo spot in Lake of the Woods, 5, Lake of the Woods, VA 22508, USA
V
Veterans Memorial Dam
Small dam and reservoir framed by mixed woodland — good for reflective water, leading lines from the spillway, and seasonal color (fall foliage). Best at sunrise or golden hour for warm sidelighting and glassy reflections; blue hour highlights the spillway silhouette. Easy roadside access and informal parking nearby, but Lake of the Woods is a private community—confirm public access and any gate hours before visiting. Expect mosquitoes in summer and icy edges in winter; dress for variable light.
