Harbor Trail

The Harbor Trail boat ramp provides convenient access to Smith Mountain Lake, a scenic 20,600-acre reservoir nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. This two-lane concrete boat launch is located off Moneta, Bedford County, making it an ideal starting point for kayakers, canoeists, and small powerboats exploring the lake's over 500 miles of shoreline.

Paddlers will find ample parking for vehicles and trailers near the ramp, as well as a handicap-accessible fishing pier. The ramp itself is well-maintained, providing a stable launch area for getting on the water. Smith Mountain Lake is known for its calm, peaceful conditions, making it a popular destination for quiet, self-propelled water sports. Boaters should be aware of the lake's size and prepare accordingly, as weather and wind can pick up throughout the day.

While specific hours and fees for this access site are not available, visitors are encouraged to plan ahead and review any relevant local regulations before heading out. With its convenient location and excellent facilities, the Harbor Trail boat ramp offers a great starting point for exploring the beauty and recreational opportunities of Smith Mountain Lake.
