Ever wonder what the fish are doing when they dive deep under water? Join our park interpreter and get an underwater view of life below the surface with our Aqua-Vu camera. We've placed artificial fish habitats underwater next to our fishing pier. These provide cover for the fish as well as a place for laying eggs. You'll be able to view and learn about the different species of fish found in Smith Mountain Lake.
