Mountain Island Lake Highway 73 Access Area

About

The Highway 73 Access Area on the Gaston County side is the main public boat ramp for Mountain Island Lake, with parking and space for fishing from the bank. Catfish are the usual catch. It is a working ramp instead of a park, and the surfacing shows real wear, but it is the most practical launch for anyone bringing a powered boat onto this lake.

What to know

  • Parking fills quickly and cars have been blocked in at busy times.
  • Do not leave valuables visible in a vehicle here.
  • North Carolina Wildlife patrol the area and check fishing licenses.
  • Check Duke Energy’s rules on which craft are permitted before launching.
