History – Located on the Dinwiddie-Chesterfield county line, the name of the lake comes from the combination of the two county names (Chesterfield- Dinwiddie).

The lake provides water and power to citizens of Chesterfield, Prince George, and Dinwiddie counties.
Fishing – Lake Chesdin is home to a wide array of fish. The lake is most notable for its supply of largemouth bass with some reporting to be over 20-inches long. There is also an abundant supply of crappie, walleye, bluegill, channel catfish, and more. Lake Chesdin offers a public 24-hour boat launch and 3 marinas for all your fishing needs.
