Cane Creek Park

Cane Creek Lake is home to some of the best largemouth bass fishing in the state as well as bluegill, crappie, and catfish. Appropriate North Carolina State Licenses are required. Licenses can be purchased in the Day Use Area at the Operations Center.

The lake is home to Cane Creek Park, a family-oriented, water-based recreation facility encompassing 1,050 acres of land surrounding the 350-acre trophy bass lake. This makes for a naturally scenic environment for a variety of outdoor activities and peaceful relaxation year-round. All recreation facilities at Cane Creek Park are centered around the lake, and when you think of water, thoughts turn quickly to fishing. Cane Creek Lake is one of only three trophy bass lakes in North Carolina.
