I wanted to provide you with some suggestions for your upcoming trip.
Lake Map App
Float LKN
Lake Norman is an extremely large lake so we recommend using an map app to navigate the lake. The Float LKN app is like google maps for the lake and will not only help navigate but shows marinas and things to do and see on the lake. For example, you can find Rope Swing Cove and Parrot Cove which are nearby hangout spots. Gas can be purchased at Midway Marina where Lake Effects is located.
