Local Tips

According to Jose Bartok of the Charlotte Club

  • Hwy 126 Boat landing (ed. note: maybe Canal Bridge on Google Maps) (Linville Gorge). There is a little beach in the North side.
  • At the end of the road of Rock Hill St (Lake James Park). Nice beach and restrooms.

Water is cooler than Lake Norman, but it is not bad from now until November.
