Just downstream from the current John H. Kerr Dam, and still visible from the viewing platform below the dam at Tailrace park, lies Buggs Island, named for Samuel Bugg, an early settler. North Carolinians know this body of water as Kerr (pronounced “Karr”) Lake. Virginians know it as Buggs Island Lake or Buggs Island Reservoir.
