One of our most popular destination parks is Smith Mountain Lake State Park. Come for the boating, come for the fishing, come to camp, come to stay in a cabin, but certainly come for the breathtaking lake views with mountain backdrop. In the summer you can enjoy the swimming beach.
I am fortunate to be visiting this park on a glorious almost spring day. Enjoy these pictures taken from the interpretive area at the park’s Discovery Center.
