Kerr Lake State Recreation Area

Kerr Lake State Recreation Area extends over eight access points around a 50,000-acre reservoir, featuring numerous campgrounds and boat ramps along the shoreline.

The North Carolina State Parks system established this recreation area in 1981 to provide public access to the expansive reservoir and its natural resources.

The recreation area serves as a gathering place for local communities through its amphitheater programs, educational events, and interpretive sessions about North Carolina's environment.

Visitors can access seven campgrounds with multiple amenities, including electric hookups, water facilities, shower buildings, and dump stations for recreational vehicles.

The lake waters support an exceptional variety of fish species, making it one of the most productive fishing locations in the eastern United States.
