There’s something magical about the arrival of summer at Lake of the Woods in Locust Grove, VA. The sunshine lingers a little longer, the air feels lighter, and the entire community comes alive with that unmistakable summer energy.
🏊♂️ Dive Into Poolside Fun
Both community swimming pools are now open—ready to welcome swimmers, sunbathers, and splash-happy kids alike! The Clubhouse Pool is your go-to spot for all-day aquatic fun, open daily from 11 AM to 8 PM. Prefer a quieter vibe? Head over to the Sweetbriar Pool, open from 12 PM to 7 PM (just note it’s closed on Wednesdays). Whether you’re perfecting your backstroke or just floating with friends, there’s a place for everyone to cool off and relax.
🏖️ Beach Days and Lakeside Memories
The beaches around the lake are also buzzing with life. Families are spreading out their towels, kids are turning sand into castles, and laughter echoes from every direction. It’s the kind of picture-perfect summer scene we wait for all year.
🍦 Cool Down with Local Treats
Of course, no summer day is complete without a sweet treat! Local favorites like The Ice Box and Cool Zone are open and scooping up your favorite frozen flavors. From classic cones to creative sundaes, they’re serving summer in every bite.
As we embrace the season of sunshine and outdoor fun, let’s also look out for one another. With more kids out biking, walking, and playing around the neighborhood, it’s the perfect time to slow down, stay alert, and keep safety top of mind.
Here’s to making the most of these sunny days—whether you’re lakeside, poolside, or just enjoying a cone under a shady tree. Wishing you a safe, joy-filled, and unforgettable summer at the lake! 🌊🍦🚲
