16 comments • Debbie Malone, Realtor Lynchburg, Smith Mountain Lake VA • February 18 2009 08:26AMWe were shocked to see the water level at Smith Mountain Lake today. After months of little rain and drought conditions for the past two summers, Smith Mountain Lake reached full pond (795 feet) on January 10th. It's lowest level in 2008 was 789.54 feet.
Appalachian Power which operates the hydroelectric project at SML and Leesville Lake, stopped following the lower output variance (400 cubic feet per second) when the lake reached full pond. Normally water is released at 650 cfs, the variance allowed water to be released at a slower 400cfs until reaching full pond. AEP had been releasing less water than its federal license required in an effort to keep the lake levels up.
The Stationary Dock to the left- the water level was down four feet. Look at how low our floater is - Oct 2008
Feb13, 2009- Water level is up to the neighbors Stationary Dock, Our floater is only one foot below our stationary dock.
Our floater today- This is great news especially since we haven't had spring rains yet,

STYX performed at Mariner's Landing, the second act in their Summer Concert Series. We arrived early in the afternoon and decided to get a bite to eat at The Pointe Restaurant. The band was just unloading the bus and we actually said hi to one of the band members on the way in. (I was still an adult at this point).
The organizers hold a Pre-Concert Party starting at 4pm. For $15, there are appetizers, cash bar, live music, free fold up chairs and a shuttle back and forth to the concert. We got our pass, listened to the music, ate a little food and watched the boats on beautiful Smith Mountain Lake. Not a bad way to spend a summer afternoon in Virginia.
At six pm, a shuttle arrived to start taking people over to the concert location. Once we got to the location (the field across from the entrance to Mariners Landing) we knew we had made a wise choice; the general admission line was long. We were taken right up to the stage and were able to get DEAD CENTER, FRONT ROW SEATS!!!! I couldn't believe our good fortune. We were six feet from the stage. PAY THE $15.
The opening band is local TK421 out of the Roanoke, Virginia area. They had quite a following and they were excellent. They played for almost an hour and after a short break, STYX came onstage!
Oh My Gosh.... Tommy Shaw was right there! RIGHT THERE!!!!
After two hours of screaming like a teenager, I was hoarse but did manage to yell "throw me a pick!" ( I got one) "throw me a photo!" ( I got one). I was smilin' all night!
All good things must come to an end and after the performance we took the little train back up to the shuttle and back to Mariner's Landing. There's still time to take in an awesome concert under the stars:
Lonestar August 16 (okay, you missed this one)
Grand Funk Railroad August 22
Blake Shelton August 23
TobyMac August 28
Diamond Rio August 29
