Tucked right onto the beach at Smith Mountain Lake State Park, State Park Boat Rental gives park visitors a scenic, no-fuss way to get out on Virginia’s second-largest freshwater lake. As part of the wider Bridgewater Marina family of rental locations around Smith Mountain Lake, this spot pairs the marina’s boating know-how with one of the prettiest launch points on the water.
The lineup leans into what makes a lake day fun: tritoons that blend pontoon comfort with real handling for watersports, and a freshly added 2025 Starcraft SVX 211 deck boat running a 150 HP Yamaha, which looks and performs a step above the usual rental. For those chasing speed rather than comfort, personal watercraft rentals let groups of friends ride together across the open water.
Because the fleet here is smaller than Bridgewater’s flagship location, reservations are the safer bet, though the team happily takes walk-ins when boats are available. Either way, guests get direct beach access and some of the best views on the lake before they’ve even left the dock.
For anyone staying at or visiting Smith Mountain Lake State Park who wants a tritoon, deck boat, or jet ski without leaving the park, State Park Boat Rental offers an easy, scenic pickup point backed by the established Bridgewater Marina rental network.
