About Hadad's Lake
Hadad's Lake is a storied events venue located on a 36-acre site in Henrico, Virginia, at 7900 Osborne Turnpike with an adjacent parcel at 1140 Mill Rd. Historically known for its pool, rope swing, pavilions, and a large 5,400 sq ft banquet hall, the property has undergone ownership changes with park operations paused since 2023. While the public water-park features are not in operation today, Hadad's Lake remains a notable location for events with a rich legacy in the Richmond area. This page provides practical, no-fuss information to help you plan visits, secure tickets for any upcoming events, and explore nearby accommodations and dining options.
Whether you’re coordinating a private gathering or looking to attend an event in the Richmond region, we’ve got you covered with clear parking details, transit considerations, and nearby lodging and dining partners to simplify your plans.
Parking on the Hadad's Lake property is available, though public parking specifics aren’t publicly published. For transit, the site is served by the Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC) system, but there is no dedicated Hadad's Lake stop. Nearby hotels and restaurants offer convenient options within a reasonable drive. When planning travel, consider using GRTC local, express, or LINK routes to reach the area, then rely on local taxi or rideshare to reach the main access points. The venue’s history includes notable events such as Walking Dead filming in 2019 and the GWAR B-Q festival in the 2010s, underscoring its enduring cultural footprint in the Richmond region. For current event details and access, check official channels and partner listings for accommodations and dining that best fit your plans.
Note: As ownership and operations continue to evolve, always verify the latest status and availability with our team before coordinating travel or tickets. We’re here to help you secure straightforward access and reliable information.
