SML Restaurant Map
Insider Extra: Because the lake spans Bedford and Franklin counties — connected only by Hales Ford Bridge on Virginia 122 — what looks like a short distance on the map may take longer by car. In many cases, a restaurant that is a 30-minute drive may be just a five-minute boat ride away.
