Lake Needwood is a beautiful 75-acre lake located in Rock Creek Regional Park and is surrounded by forests and fields. The thick tree-lined shores provide beautiful scenery to paddlers and are especially gorgeous when the falls colors bloom. There are a few small coves, and island, and aquatic vegetation which will keep paddlers interested and exploring. Fishing is permitted as well as several other recreational opportunities provided by Rock Creek Park. Rental boats are available as well as guided tours of the lake on a pontoon boat named Needwood Queen. Wildlife is abundant and it is easy to spot turtles, birds, and other wildlife from the water.
