All about Lake Norman of Catawba
Just 20 miles north of Charlotte, Lake Norman of Catawba is a small town on the shore of Lake Norman, the largest human-made lake in North Carolina, and an ideal base camp for exploring the lake and surrounding countryside. Though the region was once primarily agricultural, the creation of Lake Norman in 1963 has transformed this rural stretch of southwestern North Carolina into a destination for fans of natural beauty.
The only public swimming beach in town is located in Lake Norman State Park, where paddle boat and surfboard rentals offer the opportunity to spend time out on the lake’s calm waters. At the nearby Latta Nature Preserve, you can explore nearly 16 miles of dog-friendly trails with breathtaking views of Mount Island Lake and Gar Creek. After a day of hiking, you can enjoy the buzzy local brewery scene, or check out live performances at local bars and music venues. You may want to spend a few afternoons in Cornelius, Davidson, or one of the other small towns surrounding the lake, where you’ll find arcades with bowling alleys, laser tag, and other activities.
