Lanched in 1973, The Willard Companies has established itself as the driving force guiding Smith Mountain Lake’s transformation from a sleepy rural valley into a resort area that attracts people from across the country to enjoy golf, recreation, and lake life. Bridgewater Grande is the latest quality development by The Willard Companies.
President Ronald Willard Sr., who grew up in Franklin County, Virginia, before the Smith Mountain Dam was built (1960-'63), envisioned early on that the newly formed lake would become the "Lake Tahoe of the East." He was quoted in a local newspaper saying as much -- and that's precisely the term used by Travel + Leisure magazine in a 2023 issue.
