Go Boating on Lake Norman without a Boat!

Okay, that title is misleading but it does get your attention. It is a fact that you don't have to live on Lake Norman to enjoy boating here. Because this is a man made lake that has oversight from MANY governments/agencies and there are a fair number of public access points, all you need is a way to get your boat to LKN and in the water to start enjoying the lake. 

But what if you could enjoy boating on LKN without owning, maintaining, or renting a boat? Well, there is a way. The Queen City Boat Club is located in Cornelius at the South Street Seaport (in the Ramsey Creek section of LKN). I have friends in Wilmington, NC that are members of a similar club. They are very experienced boaters but since they don't have a water front home and don't want to trailer, they have found the boat club to be a great way to keep close to the fun on the water without all of the headaches that come from landlocked boating.

As well, if you are a time starved professional or boating novice, this is a great, lower cost way to dip your toe in the water (sorry, couldn't resist the play on words). Plus, the fact that you can spend your time boating and not towing, maintaining, repairing, etc. makes a boat club much more attractive. Of course, there are several places on LKN that you can rent boats but if you know you want to go boating but renting isn't the right fit, perhaps a membership is what you need. 

So, if you think boating is for you or you know you love boating but don't want the commitment, check out a boating club. You may find your passion is all wet!
