The Lakeside Life MagazineThe Lakeside Life Magazine is a lake lifestyle publication featuring our home lake, the incomparable Lewis Smith Lake. We highlight the people, businesses and activities surrounding our lake. Established in October of 2017, the magazine is published on a quarterly basis - except through COVID where we printed 3 issues a year and it worked out great to help our advertisers through a tough financial period.
Social MediaWe use our reach on social media to further promote not only our advertisers, but all our supporters and readers, and their take on living lakeside! Join us on Instagram @thelakesidelife_smithlake to keep up with all the fun. We segregate lots of information to other accounts as listed: @smithlakebiz @smithlakepix @smithlakeal & @visitsmithlake. If you use familiar hashtags when posting we can enjoy and share your interpretations of topics like: #howilake #spotsonsmith #smithlakelife #smithlakepets #smithlakepeople #smithlakecommunity #thelakesidelife and so much more! Just watch how we tag, and do the same!
