Smith Mountain Lake Poker Run
#58
Is this area near the PR course?
Even though the run is a couple moths off I was curious.

Bryan, Im not sure about Hardy Ford but Hales Ford Bridge is where the headquarters/strart/finish is located. Do you see them on the map?
I really hope the water comes up some because the ramp at Bernard's Landing is going to be tough with the water that low. Last trip there was last Sept and the water was 3-4ft low. I had to drop my trailer wheels off the end of the ramp, leave the drive up and paddle the boat out about 30' before I could start up and go.
SML is a pretty deep lake so low water should'nt be too much trouble for the run. It's just going to be tough at the ramps.
Lets keep our fingers crossed for mother nature to refill it for us!!!
