The Smith Mountain Project, operated by Appalachian Power, is a two-reservoir hydroelectric generation initiative located near Roanoke, Virginia. Completed in the mid-1960s, the project has created approximately 600 miles of shoreline and 24,000 surface acres of water, serving as a vital resource for electricity generation and a hub for outdoor activities.
Smith Mountain Lake and Leesville Lake, known for their excellent fishing and recreational opportunities, attract both residents and tourists alike. As the second largest freshwater lake in Virginia, the project offers various amenities, including permits for docks and shoreline management, ensuring the sustainability and enjoyment of its picturesque surroundings.
