About Kerr Lake
The Kerr Lake area covers Henderson's premier waterfront market — a 50,000-acre Roanoke River reservoir (created by the 1953 John H. Kerr Dam) straddling the NC/VA border. The seven Kerr Lake State Recreation Area parks (Henderson Point, Bullocksville, Hibernia, Nutbush Bridge, Satterwhite Point, County Line, and Kimball Point) anchor the recreation economy. Surrounding the lake are custom 1980s–2010s waterfront estate homes and lake cottages, with the iconic Kerr Lake Country Club's 18-hole course. Roofing in the Kerr Lake area is a premium lakefront market with strong demand for designer-architectural shingles, standing-seam metal, and algae-resistant systems.
