You know every once in awhile you need to go a little wild! And there is probably no better place to get a little wild than at Smith Mountain Lake aboard the Virgina Dare! On the first Wednesday of the month, you can learn about the local wildlife while enjoying a beautiful cruise on the Lake! Owner Alice Swain loves that it gives passengers a chance to learn more about the Smith Mountain Lake State Park!
On the Wildlife Wednesdays, Lauri Schular, Smith Mountain Lake State Park nature interpreter, will be on board to help narrate the noon cruise! "Some folks don't even know the State Park is right around the corner from where the Virginia Dare docks," said Schular. On the August 5th cruise, she shared about the return of the Osprey to Smith Mountain Lake! Even the Osprey think this is a great place to live!
The Wildlife Wednesday Cruise leaves the dock at noon on the first Wednesday of the month. Boarding begins at 11:30am. From May through October, lunch and a cruise costs $42 a person. The group rate is $38. The off-season rate is $38 a person. Sightseers without a meal pay $20. The Virginia Dare also offers Hawaiian Cruises and Mystery cruises as well! If you want to know the times for the cruises, check out the Virginia Dare calendar!
