Adventure Tips

Check Weather Before Launch

Conditions on large lakes like Norman and Falls Lake can shift quickly; monitor forecasts closely before heading out.

Bring Life Jackets for Everyone

State law requires personal floatation devices for each passenger; KCI provides rentals, but it’s wise to confirm availability ahead of time.

Fuel Up Before Departure

Not all launch points have nearby fuel stations; plan fuel needs in advance, especially for longer trips on Lake Norman.

Respect No-Wake Zones

Observe posted no-wake areas to protect shorelines and wildlife habitats—essential for conservation and safety.
