Our story

About Pinnacle Access Area.

Pinnacle Access Area is a popular public boat ramp located in Mooresville near the NC-150 bridge. Operated by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, this free access area provides convenient access to the central portion of Lake Norman and is a favorite among anglers, recreational boaters, and residents of eastern Mooresville. Its location near one of the lake's main transportation corridors makes it one of the most accessible launch points on Lake Norman.

One of Pinnacle's biggest advantages is its central location. Boaters launching here can quickly reach Stumpy Creek, The Point, Davidson Creek, Cocktail Cove, and many of the lake's most popular waterfront restaurants and boating destinations. With easy access to both the northern and southern portions of Lake Norman, Pinnacle is a versatile launch option for fishing trips, watersports, and full days on the water.

We booked a ride with Bryan and it was truly incredible! As someone visiting Charlotte, this was the perfect way to see all the beautiful views the city has to offer. Bryan was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared some really fun facts along the way. He was quick to respond to our texts and made it super easy to find the meeting spot. Everything was smooth and on time. I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars—this experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend Bryan to anyone looking for a memorable boat ride in Charlotte!

A lot I like about this access. A lot I don’t like about this access. Big draw back. They had one portia potty. The free standing kind. It was always disgustingly dirty but there was a bathroom and usually had tissue. Now the last two times I have been there it has been gone. And there is no where to go to the bathroom. Also, when you go out at this access there is the restaurant on the other side of the marina. About a 100 feet from the dock. You can’t see it when you go out. And when we were we coming back in at 6:00 pm there were tons of boats there to get gas. And my little kayak was rocked all around. People were not slowing down in the wake zones. They were trying to get in front of one another. There were at least 10 boats in line and this was a Tuesday. So it was very dangerous. For the big boats almost hitting each other trying to get gas. And then almost plowing into each other and me when they hurried to get on the water. And, I was giving them the right of way. It was a mess. So I recommend always going to the bathroom first and always getting gas for your water craft vehicles before you get there. Everytime I have been there going in and coming back it has been packed.
