There is so much to do at Smith Mountain Lake and the surrounding area in Franklin County, Bedford County, and Pittsylvania County that planning your trip is a real advantage. So where do you start? Finding a place to stay should be the first order of business! There are cottages and full sized homes both on and off the water available to rent. You can also take advantage of the wonderful bed and breakfasts available in the area! Camping is popular, while renting a houseboat could be the ultimate way to enjoy the lake. You can find several different kinds of Smith Mountain Lake rentals here.
Now it is time to decide what you are going to do on this visit. Is this a “get away from it all” vacation or a “do it all” vacation? This may actually effect where you want to stay, so you may want to have an idea of what you want to do before you finalize those accommodations. See - planning is helping already!! If this is a “do it all” vacation, you certainly have a lot to choose from. You can start in Moneta and drive the Blue Ridge Parkway to observe natural beauty and enjoy everything from hiking to mountain music programs. There are lots of historical and cultural activities you can enjoy! You can start looking for both entertainment and great places to eat at smith-mountain-lake.com!
Golf at championship courses like Mariner's Landing is a big attraction in the area, of course. There’s even miniature gold and other family favorites at Hot Shots. If you like other sports, you have choices ranging from horseback riding to sailing. Of course you can’t forget wake boarding, kayaking, water skiing or fishing either!! You can get in on guided tours or strike out on your own. If you are going to be on the water, make sure you are familiar with Virginia boating guidelines. If you want to unwind from the stress of life, then there is nothing better than attending a wine tasting at any of the award winning wineries in the area! Or book a sunset cruise of the lake on the Virginia Dare,!! Just sounds like heaven, doesn’t it!!
With so much to do, you will probably have to come visit more than once! Be warned, Smith Mountain Lake can be addictive!! But don’t worry, if you like it, then move here!
