Bridgewater Marina is excited to announce that we will donate 100 percent of popcorn sales in 2017 to Make-A-Wish of Greater Virginia. Our goal is to raise $10,000!

Kids have been feeding popcorn to the carp that gather around the docks at Bridgewater Marina for decades. For many a trip to Smith Mountain Lake just isn't the same without a stop at Bridgewater Plaza to feed the fish (sound familiar?).

We're No. 1! Bridgewater Marina was recently named Best Marina at Smith Mountain Lake 2017 by Smith Mountain Laker Magazine. 

 Voted on annually by readers, the awards are the highest vote of confidence for businesses and organizations at SML. Thank you to all who voted! We're thrilled to once again be your top choice for best SML marina.

Well, it’s happened again. The holiday shopping season has snuck up on me and I’ve barely started a list, let alone purchased any gifts for family, friends and colleagues.

But while it may be tempting to hop on my laptop and load up an Amazon cart with items that will delivered straight to my home, I’m not going to do it.

When it comes to fun things to do at Smith Mountain Lake, it’s hard to beat the appeal of tubes, water carpets and other water toys.

But what if you’re just visiting SML and don’t really want to invest in one of these fun-in-the-sun products?

You and your family are crazy excited about your vacation to Smith Mountain Lake – especially the kiddos.

Of course, the little ones can’t wait to get on the water to try out a variety of water sports, but you’re a bit hesitant. What if they can’t get up? What if frustration takes over and the outing ends in tears?
