Mountain Island Lake Homes for Sale

In the northwestern region of Charlotte, North Carolina, there is a gorgeous man-made lake called Mountain Island Lake. Created in 1924, it is fifty-eight feet deep and provides the local drinking water for Charlotte and other parts of Mecklenburg County. In addition to providing drinking water, it is also a popular recreation destination, particularly for fishing. Frequently caught in Mountain Island Lake are largemouth bass, blue catfish, and channel catfish, just to name a few species. Additional recreation opportunities can be found in nearby Latta Plantation Nature Preserve, the largest preserve in the county. There you’ll find a raptor center, garden pond, scenic trails, and more. 

Other exciting recreational activities can be enjoyed in the U.S. National Whitewater Center which offers whitewater rafting, canoeing, and kayaking, as well as rock climbing, zip-lining, and mountain biking. And those that enjoy horseback riding are fond of Horse Shadow Run which provides boarding, riding lessons, and summer camps. Mountain Island Lake is also in proximity to several lovely parks, including the dog-friendly Shuffletown Park that includes a children’s playground, sports fields, and sports courts. 

In addition to recreation opportunities, the area of Mountain Island Lake is also rich with shopping destinations. Nearby the Northlake Mall is home to one hundred and fifty restaurants and retailers, as well as a movie theater. Further contributing to its appeal, this family-friendly community is conveniently close to a charter school and a high school and encompasses a wide variety of single-family homes.
