Welcome to the Leesville Lake Association!

We help keep the 17-mile long Leesville Lake, with its 100-miles of wooded shoreline, beautiful, safe for water sports, healthy for fish and other habitat, and a tranquil haven for residents and visitors alike. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation of 250-plus people and agencies dedicated to this Blue Jewel near the Blue Ridge Mountains. We welcome you to join us to help achieve these goals.

AEP notification 2-16-2025

Appalachian Power Company (Appalachian) anticipates that, based on weather and river flow forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, the level of Smith Mountain Lake will rise above normal full pond, elevation 795 feet, Sunday, February 16, 2025). Allowing the lake level to rise above full pond will assist in preventing additional flooding downstream.

Although we don’t expect Leesville Lake to exceed full pond we do expect it to remain at or near full pond with heavy flow over the course of the next few days.
