With lake levels still lower than normal around Smith Mountain Lake, it's a good time to be extra aware around docks, shorelines, and boat lifts.
Exposed rip-rap, shallow water, hidden debris, and changing dock conditions can create hazards that aren't always obvious. Whether you're heading out on the boat, spending the day at the dock, or enjoying the lake with family (and pets!), a little extra caution can go a long way.
Take a minute to review these low water dock safety tips and help keep everyone safe while enjoying the lake this summer.
