New Winery on the West Shore of Lake Norman

If you are looking for some good local wine, look no farther than the West Shore of LKN. My wife's stepbrother just opened his new winery and retail store, Sweet Vine Winery. Not only will he be selling his own vintage wine but also other North Carolina wines. So, stop by and give his "killer apple Riesling" a try. All the best to you Ken!

Fly on the Liberty Belle!

This would be really cool. I hope to see you there!

Lake Norman on Wikipedia - Who Knew?

I've lived and worked around this part of the Carolinas for most of my life. Still, it is fun to type in a search and see what pops up. Today, I typed "Lake Norman" and found that we have a Wikipedia page. There isn't a lot here but since this is a consumer created and managed tool, it is good to know that LKN has made it to the web on this level. Now I suppose it is up to all of us to spread the word about our little slice of paradise.

Safety and State Law on Lake Norman

Folks, just because we've not heard about people getting hurt or killed this year doesn't mean that it still can't happen. Add to that, the laws about boating near a dedicated boat launch, and this is a piece that needs to be read.

State law mandates that you are not to create a wake within 150 feet of a dedicated boat launch, this includes private piers. Please adhere to the law and safe boating rules. They aren't written or enforced to kill your fun but to keep you from getting hurt of killing someone else.
