State Park Boat Rental, part of the Bridgewater Marina family of Smith Mountain Lake rental locations, is conveniently located right on the beach of Smith Mountain Lake State Park, offering some of the most beautiful scenery on the lake. Walk-ins are always welcome, though reservations are recommended given a limited number of boats at this location.
Tritoons are the most popular rental here, combining the comfort of a pontoon with the handling and power for watersports. New for 2025, a Starcraft SVX 211 deck boat with a 150 HP Yamaha engine looks and performs like nothing else in the fleet. For a faster-paced outing, personal watercraft (PWC/jet ski) rentals let up to 8 friends zip around the lake together.
Smith Mountain Lake State Park itself is Virginia’s second-largest freshwater lake, spanning 20,000 acres, with the boat rental concession operating seasonally from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Beyond boating, the park offers a 500-foot public beach, 13 hiking trails, camping, and interpretive nature programs.
For visitors to Smith Mountain Lake State Park looking to rent a tritoon, deck boat, or jet ski right from the beach, State Park Boat Rental offers a convenient, scenic location as part of the well-established Bridgewater Marina rental fleet.
