Description

Located along the south-central City boundary with Chesapeake, Stumpy Lake Natural Area consists of a 278-acre lake with a raised ADA compliant overlook, 174-acre golf course, with approximately 970+ acres of undeveloped, forested land surrounding the lake and 1.65 miles of soft shared-use trails.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As a valuable aesthetic resource, the area offers an opportunity for passive recreational uses, such as hiking, fishing, bird watching, nature observation and photography. The 1,422-acre property was acquired in 2001 from the City of Norfolk​.

A canoe/kayak launch is located just after the causeway from Indian River Road near the entrance to the Stumpy Lake Golf Course. Designed for non-motorized vessels, the launch is also fully ADA compliant. There is a small picnic shelter nearby. Parking spaces are available for 12 cars and two trailers. Overflow car parking is available at Stumpy Lake Golf Course.

Back Bay Brew House Farmhouse

Virginia Beach

We’re happy to announce our Grand Opening will be on September 29, 2018! After six years of partial contract brewing, we are now moving all production in-house for Back Bay Brewing Co. and Back Bay’s Farmhouse Brewing Co.

The journey of the Farmhouse started two years ago when Eddie Hewitt joined Back Bay Brewing Co. as a partner. Eddie had a vision to redevelop the 1912 farmhouse and property, an heirloom of his wife’s family, in order to return the land back to its roots and produce beer and cider. After pitching the idea to Josh Canada, Back Bay Brewing’s founder, the two partnered to open Back Bay Brewing’s second location: Back Bay’s Farmhouse Brewing Co.

The revival of this property has created many opportunities for both growth and experimentation. Our new head brewer, David Achkio, brings over 20 years of professional brewing experience and will oversee development of new farm-style beers, sours and ciders, as well as oversee the production of our core brands for distribution.
