Lake Pelham in Culpeper Virginia, named after John Pelham who served under J.E.B. Stuart in the American Civil War. Pelham fought in many battles as a feared and respected artillery man. He was known for revolutionizing the use of horses and artillery together. Among the battles that he fought were The First Battle of Bull Run, Battle of Antietam, and the Battle of Kelly's Ford. He was mortally injured at the Battle of Kelly's Ford and later passed away at a house on Main Street in Culpeper Virginia.
Lake Pelham is 255 acres with ample access via a public boat ramp. The Lake is owned by the Town of Culpeper where fishing and boat licenses may be purchased. Fishing is especially good in the lake for catfish and large mouth bass. Just ask the Bald Eagles and Hawks as you picture them diving for dinner. The scenery is peaceful and air is fresh making a trip to the lake most enjoyable.
Been there many times, no luck
