Besides featuring Lake Norman, the state’s largest man-made lake, Lake Norman State Park has a lot to offer to its visitors. From 30.5 miles of single-track trails that make one of the region’s popular mountain biking areas, hiking trails, and campgrounds for individuals as well as groups, to free interpretive programs offered by park rangers and educational exhibits in the visitor center, Lake Norman State Park surely has no dearth of activities to go for.
And then of course there is Lake Norman, a 34-mile main channel that covers an area of 32,510 acres. The Lake itself offers more activities than one can count, from boating and fishing (which are the major activities), to a 125-yard-wide swimming beach that lies at the lake’s south end. The place is complete with a bathhouse complex and a boat ramp from where boats can be rented.
