Have fun and relax on W. Kerr Scott Lake.
The W. Kerr Scott Reservoir is the perfect place to enjoy a day on the water. Set in the beautiful North Carolina foothills, the 1,475 acre reservoir offers the perfect escape from life’s little stresses. It’s also a great place for bird watchers and nature lovers of all kinds.
In addition to boating, the 55-mile shoreline offers fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and more. Three campgrounds are available, as well as four swimming areas, picnic areas, and a visitor center. Ranger-led trail tours are also available. No matter what your interest, you can find it here. Start with a boat rental from Foothills Outdoor Adventures and make a day of it.
