The dock is located in a NO WAKE ZONE (5 MPH) and is great for swimming, with ladder access from the water. When using motorized watercraft, please observe the NO WAKE rules within the cove. Our HOA is very strict and many of our neighbors on the cove have video cameras. When operating watercraft, please stay to the right of the buoys on the right in the cove, there are a series of large rocks, tree trunks in the middle. Please exercise caution when navigating within this area. The water depth around our dock area is approximately 4-5 feet deep. A pontoon boat is recommended (top down when entering and exiting the bridge underpass). You will have the outer slip of our dock to tie up.

Between Labor Day and Memorial Day, Duke Energy (who owns the lake) drains portions of the lake, making our cove extremely shallow. You will be unable to enter or leave the cove on motorized craft. Between these times, boats are prohibited.
