North Carolina

Lake Norman is the largest man-made lake in North Carolina, and is located in the northern part of Mecklenburg County, just 18 miles northwest of Charlotte. It is sometimes called an “Inland Sea,” with over 520 miles of beautiful shoreline. The Lake Norman area actually consists of several small towns and communities surrounding the lake and Lake Norman State Park. Twenty years ago, this area was primarily a weekend retreat, but that changed with the completion of I-77. It is now one of the most rapidly growing and popular areas in North Carolina. Everyone loves Lake Norman - families, retirees, or couples looking for a romantic weekend retreat. The lake and State Park offer everything you’d expect and more, from power boating and sailing to camping and fishing. There is a large number and variety of accommodations for travelers in Lake Norman, and also many fine restaurants, some of them with gorgeous dockside views. And if you want a change of pace from lakeside activities, there is shopping and entertainment, historical sites, art exhibits and museums to explore in the nearby small towns and Charlotte.
