 View from the fishing dock If you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a beautiful place to take a walk, or a new lakeside spot to enjoy the outdoors without spending a dime, plan a visit to the brand-new J. Dudley Watts Jr. Belews Lake Park in northeastern Forsyth County. Nestled along the shoreline of Belews Lake, this 216-acre park offers nearly two miles of lake frontage and is already gaining attention as a quiet, refreshing escape for families and nature lovers alike. While wildlife sightings may be minimal (we only spotted a few squirrels and a shy turtle under the dock!), the wooded gravel trails are wide, peaceful, and perfect for a reflective walk. Designed with passive recreation in mind, the park encourages visitors to slow down, take in the scenery, and enjoy low-impact activities like walking, picknicking, light fishing, photography, or kite flying. Due to protected buffer zones, you won't get up close to the lake except at the fishing pier — and while swimming isn’t allowed, the calm setting offers a welcome break from the busy day-to-day. With minimal development and a commitment to preserving the land, Belews Lake Park is a gentle reminder that connecting with nature doesn’t have to be complicated — sometimes all you need is a quiet trail, open sky, and time to breathe.  What’s Open NowPhase One of the park opened in 2025 and includes a thoughtfully designed mix of features to help you relax and enjoy the outdoors:
While there’s no playground or comfort station yet, those are coming in future phases — and what’s already here is beautiful, clean, and ready for visitors. Nature First DesignThis isn’t just another park — it’s one built with the environment in mind. There’s a 300-foot buffer zone around the lake and 100-foot protections around streams to keep the natural landscape thriving. The result? A quiet, scenic escape you’ll want to revisit. It’s Forsyth County’s first public park on Belews Lake and now ranks as the county’s fourth largest. Future development (planned by 2027) includes a second road, comfort stations, a playground, an indoor meeting space, two additional picnic shelters, an observation tower, another fishing dock, and even more walking trails. Plan Your Visit
Whether you're taking a solo stroll, planning a lakeside picnic, or just looking for a new outdoor escape, Belews Lake Park is worth the trip. Have you explored Belews Lake Park yet? We’d love to hear what you think! Tag us on social @PiedmontTriadLiving and share your favorite moments from the lake. |
