Tuesday, August 5, 2025 | 9:00am-4:30pm
Details:
Called the “Jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains”, scenic Smith Mountain Lake, with 500 acres of shoreline in Bedford County, is a 40-mile-long man-made lake created by the damming of the Roanoke River. You will board “The Virginia Dare,” a 19th-century side-wheeler, for a two-hour charter. One of the first things you’ll see is the Smith Mountain Lake State Park, with its numerous walking trails and sandy beach. The route varies and is always up to the captain's discretion, but some of the things you may see during your cruise are Smith Mountain Dam, 3 Islands (Goat, Turtle & Bride), Antique Carousel, Osprey nests, the oldest Tobacco Barn in the area, and many more sights. The Cruise includes all-you-can-eat, build-your-own tacos with all the fixings, sweet iced tea, and water. Or wash it all down with ice-cold Coronas or made-to-order margaritas from our cash bar. Note: Please review The Center Trip Guidelines and advise us if you have any special needs when traveling. Trips are non-refundable.
