About Jetton Park

Jetton Park
 

Jetton Park is situated on the east side of North Carolina’s largest manmade lake, Lake Norman. Covering 104 acres, the park offers an array of activities set against serene lakefront scenery. Established as a public space to encourage outdoor recreation, Jetton Park features walking and biking trails, a sandy beach, and numerous areas equipped for picnicking. Key to its appeal is the well-maintained trail that circles through wooded areas providing a peaceful, natural escape. A significant portion of the park is shaded, making it a cool retreat even in the heat of summer. Wildlife enthusiasts often spot birds and small mammals, while the lakefront is perfect for sunbathing and water views. Its picnic shelters and playgrounds cater to families, and with rentable facilities for events, the park remains a popular choice for gatherings. Despite its proximity to urban areas, Jetton Park maintains a calm and communal atmosphere, ideal for both relaxation and recreation.
