Greenfield Lake only covers about 100 acres, but it is an important part of what makes the city of Wilmington so special. The almost 200-year-old Greenfield Lake lends itself to various attractions, including the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater. Because the waters are full of alligators swimming is regretfully off limits, but boating and fishing are still popular activities. The lake is not very deep, reaching depths of only seven feet at its deepest points and about one foot in the shallowest points. The plant and wildlife are prime for viewing, especially from canoes, kayaks, and paddle boats, which are all available for rent.
