Summer at Smith Mountain Lake!!


Lifelong memories are made on these lazy hot summer days! Or at least they can be when you are blessed to live on the water! When the temperature soars, nothing is quite as exhilarating as running at full speed down the dock and jumping right into to the refreshing topaz blue water of Smith Mountain Lake! The kids seem to enjoy it too!
From May to September, the long days seem short when filled with water skiing, wake boarding and swimming! On the weekends the relatives come out to the lake with all their toys in tow!! Jet skiers and kayakers can be seen dotting the lake as everyone relaxes and recharges around the water. With the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and breathtaking shorelines, it is hard not to be nature lover. Even those who do not enjoy getting wet seem to love coming to the lake for fresh air and family time.
As the air begins to cool you know it is time to head in for dinner! From steaks to hot dogs, everything tastes better when cooked on the grill or over the fire pit! Most people remember sitting in their swimsuit and towel eating a hot dog fresh off the grill. Ok, admit it, that memory made you smile as you remembered days gone by.
There is something about living on the water that stirs the spirit and the soul!! If living on the water has been a dream of yours, Smith Mountain Lake should definitely be on the top of your list! A breathtaking 40-mile long, 20,600 acre lake, with 500 miles of shoreline! Add the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and gorgeous homes and you have found a small slice of heaven!
