Directions by Water
Charity Home Tour ticket holders who are visiting the homes by boat this year will have an easy day’s cruise. The first 3 homes are on the Bedford County side of the Roanoke River. The next 5 homes are on the Franklin County side (except for one in Penhook), extending just part way up the Blackwater. The dock of each home will be marked by a tall orange flag and the dock volunteers will be wearing orange safety vests for easy recognition. The homes are listed in sequential down-the Roanoke and up-the-Blackwater, which differ slightly from the driving directions. Note that the homes retain their number designations from the map and by-land directions. Bring along a lake map, hydration, snacks, sunscreen, and a fully-charged cell phone. Make sure properly-sized life vests are onboard and readily accessible for everyone (wearing them while underway is highly recommended by all the lake’s law enforcement and water safety groups).
Please Remember: Some docks only have 2 docking spaces, so allow plenty of extra time if touring by water. Every dock will also have a drop-off option, allowing the captain to linger with the boat off-shore while passengers tour the home.
