Equestrian camping
Smithville Lake has a dedicated equestrian camping area with horse stalls, connected to 32 miles of horse trails, so riders can camp with their horses and ride right from the site.
Marinas & boating
Three marinas on the water
Covered and uncovered slips, sailboat slips, dry storage, mooring balls, bait shops, and five boat ramps lake-wide.
New marina management system
The county’s marina management platform is in procurement. This site is built to connect to it when it’s selected, so slip availability, waitlists, and payments can live alongside camping and shelter reservations. Boat and pontoon rentals are available at the marinas.
