Located on 255 acres deep in the emerald groves of the Appomattox-Buckingham State Forest, Holliday Lake is well known for its fishing spots and dense woods. Within its 150-acre lake are yellow perch, largemouth bass, and bluegill. Holliday Lake is located between the Hixburg and Andersonville communities in Virginia, so it is far enough away to connect with nature.
