Lake Norman State Park, State park in Troutman, North Carolina.
Lake Norman State Park stretches across 1,400 acres with 520 miles of shoreline on North Carolina's largest artificial lake, including hiking trails and camping areas.
The North Carolina government established Lake Norman State Park in 1962 to provide recreational opportunities along the northern section of the newly created reservoir.
Throughout the year, Lake Norman State Park hosts educational programs focusing on local ecology, wildlife observation, and environmental conservation for school groups and families.
The park features 33 campsites with electrical hookups, a swim beach, boat rentals, and 31 miles of mountain biking trails on the Itusi trail system.
Two islands within the park boundaries serve as protected nesting grounds for great blue herons, with over 25 nests documented in this natural sanctuary.
