in more and more places; you’ll want to drink it all in… and read about
the true Christmas miracle that you can witness every day in our

On The Cover
Winter brings anything but discontent
at Smith Mountain Lake! Old traditions
live on, and new ones are born. Nature’s
stark beauty manifests itself in frosty lake
scenes, and the lake’s hearty denizens find
plenty of ways to enjoy a lot more than
just a cold winter’s nap. See our calendar
pages to stay abreast of things… and
don’t forget to pencil in your own!
