Bridgewater Marina & Boat Rentals

10/08/2026

As the busy summer season gives way to quieter days at Bridgewater Marina, we're treated to evenings like this.

The docks may look peaceful, but there's plenty happening behind the scenes. Our team is busy servicing, cleaning and preparing boats for winter, while others remain ready for your next fall or winter adventure on Smith Mountain Lake.

And when the setting sun lights up Smith Mountain Lake like this, it's worth stopping for a few minutes to take it all in.

Summer gets all the attention. But fall on Smith Mountain Lake? It’s hard to beat. 🍂

Cooler days, quieter water and fall color beginning to settle around the shoreline make this a great time to get out on the lake. So don’t put away your lake plans just yet. Rent a boat from Bridgewater Marina and spend the day enjoying SML at a slower pace. 🚤

What started with an idea from Bridgewater Marina's Ryan Waters in 2017 has grown into a tradition that the entire SML community can be proud of.

This summer, Feed the Fish for Make-A-Wish raised more than $26,800, bringing the program's total to nearly $230,000 for Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia.

Thank you to the Smith Mountain Eagle for sharing the story behind the program, including how Ryan's family's personal connection to Make-A-Wish helped inspire an idea that our team and this community have embraced for nine summers.

We're so grateful to everyone who has bought a bag of popcorn, fed the fish, told a friend or brought their kids and grandkids down to the docks. Every $1 bag has been part of something much bigger.

Thanks again to the Eagle for telling the story, and to Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia for the life-changing work they do for children and families across Virginia. 💙

A good plan can be like popcorn.

Well, this isn't something we see over the marina every day! 🎈

Hot air balloons from W**e, Balloons & Tunes at Wind Vineyards at Smith Mountain Lake made their way across the lake today, giving us a pretty spectacular view from Bridgewater Marina.

The event is still going on across Halesford Bridge at Wind Vineyards until 9 p.m. tonight.

Just another Saturday at Smith Mountain Lake. ❤️
