Smith Mountain has become a favorite vacation spot on the East Coast. It is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a short drive from the Peaks of Otter and the Blue Ridge Parkway where you can enjoy spring drives to view the redbud and mountain laurel in bloom and in the fall the foliage is unbelievable. Bedford with its famous War Memorial is a must-see. Roanoke, a 30 minute drive, has a large civic center with performers throughout the year. Mill Mountain Park in Roanoke, famous for its huge star, has a zoo and views of the whole city. Booker T Washington Historic Park is located close by. Rocky Mountain, a quaint little town, is about 11 miles away. Smith Mountain State Park with a nice beach and swimming area is a great place for a picnic. There are very unique and quaint shops and restaurants all around and many many marinas around the lake. There is also a small airport for private planes to land.
