Anywhere in the springtime is joyous with all that life bursting at the seams, but Smith Mountain Lake is especially wonderful this time of year. Not only is the Creation at its peak of natural beauty but there are many grand things to do with friends and family. If you are in the mood for an outdoor event, the Peaks of Otter Winery open house sounds fabulous. If you would like to support our newest businesses, check out the Grand Opening/Ribbon Cuttings.
