Welcome to TLAC - The mission of the Tri-County Lake Administrative Commission is to assist in the development of a harmonious community at the Lake, through the administration of those programs and projects delegated to it by the Boards of Supervisors of the three localities surrounding the Lake, and to study and advise the three Boards of Supervisors on issues related to the overall well being of the Lake, as directed by the member counties. It is the mission of the Tri-County Lake Administrative Commission
to do for the three counties, in a more efficient and effective manner, what any one of the member counties could do for themselves individually, and to perform such duties and to exercise such appropriate powers and authority as may be delegated by the Boards of Supervisors of the member counties
to the "TLAC" and not exceeding the limits of delegation as prescribed
under the Code of Virginia.

REPORTED SHALLOW AREAS

With water levels more than 4' below full pond, watercraft operators are encouraged to review this list prior to beginning any lake excursion. 

Disclaimer:  While this is not a complete list of the shallow or hazardous areas, this listing will be updated as new reports are provided to us.  We hope it will be of assistance to boaters.

TLAC encourages anyone with information about an area of the lake that is non-navigable due to the low water level to e-mail this information to navigation@sml.us.com so it can be added to the listing.  Photographs of these areas are also appreciated.
