Even though we receive regular reports from a different direction, it is still hard to keep up with all that is going on this summer at Smith Mountain Lake. But that is a good thing as it means there are so many wonderful things to do that it might be a little hard to choose. There are educational outings, fabulous cuisine opportunities, family-oriented fun, and much more.
