Stokesdale, located in the northwest corner of Guilford County, is a rural community with a mixture of agricultural and farming areas, businesses, industries, and residential areas. A small business district provides services for the citizens of the area. Several industries are also located within the Town. The 21.4 square miles included in the incorporated area of the Town is intersected by three major highways, US Highway 158, NC Highway 68, and NC Highway 65. Part of the Town borders a fourth major highway, US Highway 220. With this network of roads, Stokesdale citizens are within a short drive of the larger cities of Greensboro, High Point, Winston Salem, or Reidsville.

Belews Lake, a Duke Power facility, is located mostly in Stokes County but does extend into Forsyth, Rockingham, and a small portion of Stokesdale (Guilford County.) The lake was completed in 1973 and has a surface area of 3,863 acres and approximately 88 miles of shoreline. There are two public boat landings that provide access to the lake. The Piney Bluff access area is located on Highway 65 just outside of the Stokesdale Town Limits. The Pine Hall boat landing is in Stokes County off of Pine Hall Road. Carolina Marina and Humphries Ridge Campground are two privately operated businesses located on Belews Lake that provide boating access for the lake.
