Your source for discovering the pulse of the lake.
The Current is an enriching local-to-local resource helping readers discover the pulse of Smith Mountain Lake.
​
Not a "news"letter or events calendar, you'll instead find stories about the people (and their talents and their businesses!) that make up the fabric -or the current- of our town. You'll also find inspiration for slow, intentional living, essays on everyday life at the lake, simple recipes to try, entertaining tips, undercover foodie reviews, highlights on area groups/clubs/organizations, and more.
Reader financial support helps foster the continuance of this publication allowing it to remain available to all. When you click the button below and choose a level of support that is right for your budget, you are tangibly investing in your community.
Many, but not all, of the articles are posted here, on the blog, after they appear in The Current e-zine that goes out to subscribers.
Meet The Editor

Hi! I'm Kristin, the voice behind The Current. I've always been a connector, a huge proponent of community, and an avid supporter of local businesses. Another passion of mine is savoring beauty and learning to curate a rich life. Readers of The Current will find all of that and more as together we build a feel-good resource for residents old and new, visitors, and maybe-someday-ers alike!
