The whole family will enjoy a day trip to Copperhead Island at the McDowell Nature Preserve. The 20-acre island is surrounded by scenic Lake Wylie and provides everything you need for a fun day out. If you have your own boat you can use one of four boat ramps to directly access the lake. Other activities on the island include hiking, bird-watching, picnicking and beach volleyball. You can cast a line from the fishing pier (fishing license required), play a game of horseshoes or join a guided kayak excursion. You can get all the information you need at the McDowell Nature Center.
Copperhead Island, 15200 Soldier Rd, Charlotte, NC 28278, Phone: 980-314-1128
