Why Come Here

Enjoy the lifestyle you deserve at our full service, public marina. Open seven days a week, Tailrace Marina has fun for the entire family. From a lazy boat trip up the scenic Catawba River, to kayaking and picnicking right on site, you won’t have to go far to have a great time.

You could take a full day excursion down to the southern end of the lake. Along the way, you will find many a quiet cove to drop anchor and enjoy a leisurely lunch. If fishing is your fancy, you may bag a few white perch, a large striper or even a catfish or two.

Enjoy the restaurant and pub onsite as well as the ambiance of the small southern town.
