Morning coffee on the dock after a short trip along the shoreline and now putting away the kayaks to prepare for chilly weather moving in tonight. Buckle up everyone… tend to docks and shorelines where needed - it’s about to get very cold! We suspect we’ll finally lose the dock ferns for sure after this cold snap - or can anyone advise how best to save them, or if it’s worth it? And psssst - who else is dreaming of a white Christmas?! ❄️ 〰️〰️🛶〰️〰️ #smithlakeweather #latefall #winteriscoming #cold #lake #lakelife #smithlakeshorelines #morning #alabama #alabamalakes #alabamalife #smithlakecommunity #smithlakesocial #lakeliving #lakeside #lewissmithlake #lifeonthelake #lifeonsmithlake #livelovelake #livinglakelife #livelifelakeside #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakeal #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Smith Lake, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmO9EvPr_RV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Water levels are lowering as always expected this time of year, currently 500.11’. Fall and winter are all about the beautifully exposed shorelines and beaches waiting to be discovered. Favorite peninsulas, points, islands, coves and beaches are larger and beckoning explorers to check them out and enjoy. This lovely group had a great time making the most of a gorgeous Autumn day weekend n a beach by the dam. PS - Also, it’s a great time to begin considering maintenance for shorelines and docks. The water is calmer in the fall and winter with less boat traffic, so shore and dock work is a bit easier to accomplish. Plan ahead and get your service and maintenance lined up now before contractor calendars are filled. That way you’ll be way ahead of the game by spring. Be sure to get the @apcshorelines “Smart Lakes” app so you can watch the water level closely from anywhere. 〰️〰️💦〰️〰️ “Wednesday lake days are the best”- 📷 @madison.s.bennett17 〰️〰️💛〰️〰️ #smithlakeshorelines #smithlakecoolpeople #smithlakebeautifulpeople #smithlakethingstodo #smithlakeshores #lake #lakelife #lakeshore #alabama #alabamalakes #smithlakecommunity #lakeside #lewissmithlake #livinglakelife #livelifelakeside #visitsmithlake #smithlakealabama #smithlake #smithlakeal #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Lewis Smith Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj0weA_LYHu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A gorgeous photo of how beautiful the exposed shorelines are right now with the water level down to 500.92 via @apcshorelines <~~~be sure you have the SmartLakes App to keep aware of the water level all year. It’s a great time to hike your shoreline and do some shoreline and general maintenance as well as doing a thorough check on your dock’s electrical system. 📷 @kimbrellkirk of Kimbrell’s Electrical Service LLC <~~~FOLLOW on Facebook & call for electrical work. @smithlakebiz #smithlakebiz #smithlakebusiness #shopsmithlake 〰️〰️💦〰️〰️ #smithlakeshorelines #glasswater #reflection #lake #lakelife #alabama #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakeal #smithlakealabama #smithlakelife #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Smith Lake, Cullman al) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cja5hssrabE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A quiet discovery outing is very cathartic. Find a section of interesting shoreline, and get out, float for a bit, appreciate the little things, watch nature thrive, breathe fresh air and just take in what is around you. The few hustle bustle 10-12 summer weekends do not define lake life. 〰️〰️🌥💦〰️〰️ , “…After the difficult last two weeks, I finally got out in my kayak to take pictures.

We do a few boat trips a year to the far west side of the lake to spend hours playing at #pyramidrock in #goosenestcove before heading up to #lakeshoreinnandmarina . Have you ever been? Our son used to say it felt like we were in a Jurassic Park theme park the minute we entered the cove with all the huge chunks of broken rock bluff shoreline emerging from the lake like little mountainous rock islands. It’s fun to go several times a year to see it in various water levels to watch the rocks “grow” as they appear larger the further the water goes down. It’s definitely a favorite #spotsonsmith for our family and friends. 〰️〰️🔵💦〰️〰️ “Climbing the spine...

Current water level is @ 514.8’ ASL. We are above normal level for this time of year (Summer full pool is 510’ ASL), due to recent rain and normal watershed. Thankfully the forecast shows several sunny days ahead for a period of drying out before next week’s busy spring break. Be sure to keep watch on your docks, dock cables, dock electrical connections and shoreline areas during water level changes. APC generator schedule is operating as stated on apcshorelines.com & the SmartLakesApp - please follow those preferred sources carefully. We should be closer to a normal level soon. 📷 @apcshorelines Reminder: At Smith Lake, it is common for the water level to rise quickly due to rain and runoff. If the ground is saturated, it can rise steadily to nearly a foot for every inch of rain within a short time after the rain event due to natural runoff more immediately contributing to the reservoir. Just remember to stay weather aware and watch water levels for your particular shoreline area. Always be very careful when adjusting tight dock cables and inspecting electrical connections. If you ever have any portion of your dock submerged (like a walkway, etc.), cut the electricity to your dock completely off for safety until the water level recedes. Obtain professional help if you are unsure how to proceed. Also, be watchful of debris in the water when boating during these times. Safety first! 〰️〰️💦〰️〰️ #smithlakewaterlevel #smithlakeshorelines #lake #lakelife #lakelevel #waterlevel #alabama #alabamalakes #alabamalife #smithlakecommunity #smithlakesocial #lakeliving #lakeside #lewissmithlake #lifeonthelake #lifeonsmithlake #livelovelake #livinglakelife #livelifelakeside #welovesmithlake #northalabama #visitsmithlake #smithlake #smithlakeal #smithlakealabama #smithlakepix #smithlakelife #smithlakemagazine #thelakesidelifemagazine #thelakesidelife (at Smith Lake, Cullman al) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbczMz4Lm6D/?utm_medium=tumblr
