SUMMER SCENES: Lake Life

Editor’s Note: This gallery is part of a summer series from The Cavalier Daily photo desk staff. Over the course of the summer, photo staffers will craft galleries which capture moments from different places in Charlottesville and beyond.

Launch the gallery to view photos taken at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia. As the second-largest freshwater lake in the state of Virginia, Smith Mountain Lake is home to a variety of wildlife species. Guests are welcome to swim, hike, boat and picnic on the lake.
