🌟 SML’s two most spectacular over-the-water fireworks shows will be launched by professionals on July 4 and 5 and include viewing areas designated as temporary no-wake zones from 8 to 11 p.m.

🚤 During both evenings, it’s crucial for boats to reduce speed to idle upon entering the primary viewing areas to prevent disturbance to other vessels and ensure everyone’s safety. Typically, the fireworks begin around 9:45 p.m.

When leaving the area, boats must again idle back out to the no-wake zone boundaries before accelerating to a safe after-dark cruising speed. This gives the traffic (as many as 3,000 boats is typical) a chance to separate before wakes are generated.

Look out for vessels displaying flashing yellow, blue or red lights, as they indicate the no-wake boundaries and are authorized to enforce the no-wake protocol. Skippers who disregard this protocol and operate above idle speed within these boundaries risk receiving citations for reckless operation.

Smith Mountain Lake has adhered to this no-wake fireworks protocol since 2006, resulting in very few incidents and zero serious injuries. SML Insiders urges all boaters to help maintain this outstanding safety record during these two evenings.

Current routine 6/5/22

The Ice Cream Bot starts on the Roanoke River side in the mornings, and he’s at Hales Ford Bridge usually around 12:30-1:15.
He heads towards the dam and goes in several coves along the way.
He turns around before he gets to Bernard’s Landing and heads back towards the bridge.

His schedule may have changed a little this year, but this should be pretty close.
