Lake Norman - Picnic Areas

The Picnic Tables are available on a first come basis with no reservation needed. But the best spots go fast! Most have a grill near the table and are in wooded areas. Trash cans are available but not really close. Rest Rooms are also available at all 3 sites but the ones near the construction of the new Visitors Center may be closed.
