As we head into the cooler seasons, there’s still plenty to see and do at
Smith Mountain Lake in our 50th Anniversary year.
Go big game hunting with Dave Lortscher… meet the new Deacon at
Resurrection Catholic Church… learn about the life and times of one of
the area’s most famous historical figures… and take a glimpse into the
fascinating world of Barbershop Harmony.

wonderful community. If you’re a visitor, we hope you enjoy your stay,
