Our Story
The Friends of the Valdese Rec was established in 2015 with a vision to transform 300 acres of land on Lake Rhodhiss into a vibrant park. This initiative led to the creation of Valdese Lakeside Park, featuring a greenway, trails, a kayak launch, playgrounds, and picnic areas. Since its official opening in 2018, FVR has focused on enhancing the park's amenities and recreational opportunities for the community.
