Bayside Marina and Yacht Club

Bayside Marina and Yacht Club offers a convenient boat ramp for launching kayaks, canoes, and small powerboats onto Smith Mountain Lake in Moneta, Virginia. The lake is a large reservoir covering over 20,000 acres, providing ample space for recreational boating, fishing, and watersports.

The boat ramp is located near the marina's docks and beach area, making it easy to load and unload your watercraft. There is ample parking available for vehicles and trailers. While the marina primarily serves power boaters, the ramp can accommodate non-motorized craft like kayaks and canoes. Paddlers should be prepared for the lake's open water conditions, which can see significant wind and wave action at times.

Beyond the boat ramp, the Bayside Marina offers a range of services including boat rentals, storage, and maintenance. The adjacent Los Amigos Bar & Grill provides a convenient spot for dining and refreshments before or after your time on the water. For those looking to further explore the lake, nearby Booker T. Washington National Monument offers additional recreational opportunities.
