Outdoor Adventures
Smith Mountain Lake
Hiking at the Peaks of Otter
A big county offers big adventures. In Destination Bedford, those adventures can be on land or on the water. Roughly half of the 500 miles of shoreline of Smith Mountain Lake is in Bedford County. That means you’ll find great fishing, paddling, swimming and boating.
If you prefer your adventures on land, check out lots of hiking trails, including the most famous long-distance trail of all – the Appalachian Trail. Sharp Top, Flat Top and Harkening Hill are the three mountains collectively known as The Peaks of Otter. They’re very popular hikes, perhaps because there is a wonderful campground, lodge and restaurant located at the base. More hiking, mountain biking and disc golf are also available at many of the great parks around Destination Bedford.
