Smith Mountain Lake Thunderstorms 2025


Happy Fresh List Friday from Soggy Smith Mountain Lake!

If you’ve had the same 5+ inches of rain that we have this past week, then I’m sure you can relate…

EVERYTHING IS GREEN
(including our sidewalks, front porch steps, docks, etc…)

So now…we begin the REAL Spring cleanup!

That being said…in the spring, the lake normally “turns over”, but this year it will look especially creamy in all areas of the lake…with the POSSIBLE exception of the main channel. That’s because AEP/Appalachian Power has been working overtime to control the dam and currents have been churning the waters.

This is only temporary; however, there are areas of the lake that are shallow and have silt runoff all the time–I don’t recommend buying in those areas, so I WILL definitely have your back to navigate those regions. My nickname for those areas has been “chocolate milk alley” for almost 25 years…so feel free to ask for it by name! 😉

There are only 69 waterfront single family homes on the lake today, including doublewides…on 550 MILES OF SHORELINE…so don’t get suckered in, thinking there will be a ton of inventory in 2025–there honestly won’t. These stats are 5 years and counting now…

OK my friends! I’ve got a full plate + a ton of spring cleanup to do…so wish me luck! And I will see you here soon!

You know what to do!
All the BEST!
