We live in Northern Va and do the 4 hour drive down to Smith Mt. lake every other weekend during the summer if not more. Are we crazy? :hammerhea
Sure there are closer lakes to us but why do the people in Southern Cal drive all the way to Havasu and Mead versus the lakes that are closer? I think some of the reasons we do it might be the same :cool:
Charlottesville, VA is the half way point for our drive and we go right through it. With the new speed limits on Rt. 29 it's right at 2 hours of easy no traffic driving from Charlottesville. :)
Here is how we spent last weekend at Smith Mt. Lake

Thanks for the replies.
I live in La Quinta , CA ( Palm Springs area), my wife wants to move closer to her family.
Charlottesville keep coming up.
So I am curios where people can boat.
I drive 2 hours to Parker and 2:45 to Lake Havasu all summer long.
What is the boating season in VA?
Are these lakes popular like Havi?
