What makes Smith Mountain Lake so special? Finding paradise in a quiet lake community in southwestern Virginia is an unexpected pleasure! Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia, pleasantly surprises visitors each year by embodying all the qualities of a perfect retreat. From its expansive 20,600-acre body of pristine water with its serene Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop, to each of its convenient and charming townships, Smith Mountain Lake is idyllic. Here, our guests and residents have unrestrained access to refreshing boat excursions, thrilling explorations, heart-pumping water sports and top-notch fishing; and that’s only within the lake’s 500 miles of shoreline! Equally engaging activities and attractions await off the water, including bustling dining locations, renowned golf courses, historic monuments, eclectic shopping and fun-filled events. The excitement of a recreational lake next to the gorgeous Appalachians is what attracts our visitors. However, it is Smith Mountain Lake’s irresistible tranquility and inviting atmosphere that captures the hearts of new residents. I understand these strong feelings completely! There is nowhere else I would rather live, work and play. We are thrilled you have come to explore Virginia’s “Jewel of the Blue Ridge,” Smith Mountain Lake. While you are here, the most up-to-date information is available by logging on to our website, VisitSmithMountainLake.com, or by downloading the MyChamber app for smartphones. Enjoy discovering the treasures of Smith Mountain Lake, soon celebrating its 50th anniversary. You are in for an unforgettable experience.
