At Smith Mountain Lake you’ll find wonderful places and people. Our area’s great natural beauty – from the waters and woods to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia – is the perfect destination for your very own style of fun, whether you seek days full of activities or just plain relaxing. Simply sitting back and enjoying the glorious scenery make every day complete. Sound too good to be true? Just wait until you see our beautiful sunsets at Smith Mountain Lake.
Once you visit, you’ll want to make Smith Mountain Lake your home. In fact, our little community of 22,000 has grown in large part to the many vacationers who have decided to relocate permanently. The temperate weather, our central location along the East Coast, and a small-town atmosphere make Smith Mountain Lake an excellent place to raise your family, start a business, or just kick back and relax. Smith Mountain Lake … it really is closer than you think!
Located in central Virginia along the Blue Ridge Mountains, Smith Mountain Lake is equidistant from Roanoke and Lynchburg. We’re a short four-hour drive southwest of Washington D.C. and two hours north of Raleigh, NC.

Friendly people and genuine hospitality make everyone feel welcome and there’s always something new to do. World-class historical sites, unique shopping opportunities from antiques to art galleries, the latest fashions, fantastic dining, and entertainment options.
How We're Doing Our Part
Our annual Smith Mountain Lake Wine Festival (September 25 and 26, 2010) will bring thousands of people to the Lake, which is located along the Blue Ridge Parkway, thus bringing thousands of people to the parkway that may never have been there before.
