The Ice Cream Boat is back and serving up sweet treats around Smith Mountain Lake!🍦🚤

There's nothing quite like enjoying an ice cream cone while taking in the beautiful lake views, and the Ice Cream Boat provides the perfect opportunity to capture a classic SML summer moment. Whether you're docked with family, cruising with friends, or enjoying a day on the water, we'd love to see your favorite Ice Cream Boat photos!

We're currently collecting images for the 2026 SML Visitor, Newcomer & Relocation Guide, and photos featuring unique Smith Mountain Lake experiences like the Ice Cream Boat are exactly what we're looking for. From smiling kids with melting cones to sunset treats on the dock, help us showcase the fun and memories that make SML special.📸

Whether you're a professional photographer or simply snapping photos on your phone, your image could be featured in our upcoming guide and on our social media channels!
