With 500 miles of shoreline, many people spend their summer vacation at beautiful Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia.
A favorite destination while at the lake is Bridgewater Plaza in Moneta. One of several communities at Smith Mountain Lake, Moneta has a population of 8600 and was the location for much of the filming of the movie What About Bob?
You can drive to Bridgwater Plaza or arrive by boat. On a summer evening, this place is hopping; live bands play at Mango's and the music can be enjoyed as you dine or shop. Pizza Pub has indoor and outdoor seating and we often take our dog with us. He's very content to people watch and the servers are glad to bring him a cup of water. There are several casual dining restaurants to choose from including:
- Moosies
- Pizza Pub
- Mango's Bar and Grill
- The Mouse Trap
- Chopsticks
- Ice Cream Cottage
Shopping:
- Bridgewater Sportswear
- Bridgewater Marina
- Gifts Ahoy
- Wake & Skate
- The Veranda
- The Little Gallery
- Oriental Decor
Activities:
- Fun-N-Games Arcade
- Harbortown Mini-Golf
My favorite activity at Bridgewater Plaza is feeding the fish. I freeze all my day old bread to take along when we go to the lake. These are the enormous fish you'll find at the dock. It's a feeding frenzy!
Bridgewater Plaza is open seven days a week. CLICK HERE for individual hours of operation.
The weather is still nice enough to take the boat out and enjoy the beautiful scenery and changing leaves. So come on out and visit Smith Mountain Lake this fall. For more information, contact:

This looks like a great place. I love that you can arrive by boat or car. Those fish look quite creepy though.
