DINING: An onsite restaurant, Napoli by the Lake, is well reviewed and will take your lakeside experience to the next level!
BOATING: Courtesy docks are located just outside of your unit, so be sure to bring a boat or plan to rent one onsite or at one of the many marinas so you can enjoy the sights and fun on the lake. There are at least 10 restaurants that you can boat to! The resort offers an offloading ramp and empty trailer storage during your stay for a fee if you register online for a decal. Here is the link to Pre-register for decals to dock your boat or store your trailer: https://bernardslanding.com/guests-renters/boat-and-trailer-stickers/
FISHING: The lake has outstanding fishing for bass, catfish, and the trophy striper bass. For ensured success, you may want to hire a fishing guide for a 1/2 day trip. These book up so I encourage you to do your research early. Fishing is allowed from shore or the courtesy docks when not filled with boats. Virginia law requires those 16 yrs or older to purchase a fishing license. This can be purchased online.
Nearby Westlake is the lake's premier shopping area with Kroger, CVS, movie theater, restaurants, bait shop, and more. Bridgewater Plaza is another 8 minutes to the north and has several restaurants, surf shop, ice cream, pizza, bungee tramp, and mini golf. There is a local alpaca farm, Booker T. Washington historic site, and the World War II Memorial in Bedford and more to visit. There is a public golf course at Westlake also!
We have provided kayaks and lifejackets in our the lower level storage areas. Virginia law and common sense requires a lifejacket when using a kayak. You will want to supervise children at all times around water. There is no barrier between the home and the water.
There is a beach right near the townhome and beach toys for your use. The larger public beach can be accessed by parking near Napoli restaurant.
Please plan to respect neighbors who are full time residents and follow Property Association rules. No excessive noise after 10pm, no parties or formal events, no pets, no fireworks, no tents can be erected in the yard, and you will need to remove belongings from yard and beach each evening. Thanks for your cooperation!
Smith Mountain Lake is truly a jewel and it brings us joy to share it with you. I have compiled a notebook with nearby attractions and suggested restaurants to help you get started on your way to having the time of your lives!!!
