About Westlake Corner, Virginia
Westlake Corner lies at the edge of a landscape that breathes with the slow, steady pulse of the Blue Ridge foothills. It lies 16.8 miles south-east of Roanoke, VA (from Roanoke, VA: bearing 127°T), and is situated 6.1 miles north-north-west of Smith Mountain Lake. Rolling hills, cloaked in a deep, varied green of deciduous forests and interspersed with the darker, more stoic pines, define the terrain, their slopes occasionally breaking to reveal broad, sun-drenched fields. The air itself seems to carry a faint, earthy scent, a blend of damp soil after a recent shower and the subtle perfume of wildflowers that dot the verges of winding country roads. Here, the sky often stretches wide and a brilliant cerulean, a vast dome above the gentle contours of the land, and as dusk approaches, it can bleed into hues of rose and bruised purple, casting a soft, almost tangible glow that softens the sharp edges of the day. The history of Westlake Corner is intrinsically tied to the land and the water that shapes it. Once a place where agricultural pursuits dominated, with farms yielding crops suited to the fertile valleys, the economy has gradually shifted, embracing the recreational allure of the nearby Smith Mountain Lake. This transformation has brought a new character to Westlake Corner, a blend of its enduring rural roots and the vibrant energy of a popular destination for boaters and anglers. You can still sense the echoes of earlier times in the weathered barns and the quiet dignity of the older farmhouses, now juxtaposed with the modern amenities catering to those drawn by the shimmering expanse of the lake, a beacon of leisure and natural beauty.
