Summertime Bass Fishing: Sleeters Lake in Round Hill, Virginia

On this episode of Hidden Gems I explore Sleeters Lake in Round Hill, VA my childhood home.
Sleeters lake was created by Colonel Frank Sleeter and his wife, Elizabeth, who moved to Round Hill in 1942 and built an orchard on 50 acres of land. A decade later, they built a cold storage and packing plant in what is now High Hill Country Store. The lake was created in 1963 to provide irrigation to the orchard operation that had grown to nearly 1,000 acres. John Sleeter, son of Frank & Elizabeth, sold the property in the early 1990’s to Robert Lewis, a Loudoun County developer.
