Lake Davidson is the sister lake of Lake Norman, located only a few miles away. In fact, if you're spending time on Lake Norman and want to see the equally beautiful shores of Lake Davidson, the trail begins on Jetton Street by the Davidson Day athletic fields. As you walk down the trail connecting the two lakes, you will pass through a forest of beautiful, mature trees. Walking through the 900 foot trail, you will find benches along your path to relax and enjoy the views until you reach Lake Davidson. 

If you love water sports such as using a motor craft, tubing, water skiing or jet skiing, Lake Norman is the perfect place to play. However, if you are a canoe or kayak enthusiast or would just like to sit and look at the calm, clear water, Lake Davidson may be your new favorite space. The two lakes are separated by the I-77 causeway and regulations are in place to prohibit motor crafts on Lake Davidson, making this the perfect place to enjoy the serenity that the lake has to offer. 

The Lake Davidson Nature Preserve is not only a beautiful spot to enjoy the scenery or take the kayak out, the preserve also provides visitors with an educational experience as well. Benches throughout the preserve were designed by famous environmentalist, Aldo Leopold and feature photographs and sketches of wildlife found throughout the preserve.

The conservation also holds summer camps and wildlife educational programs for kids and events such as the all organic farmers market and park camp outs and bird watching for all ages. 

Whether you are planning to learn a bit about the wildlife on Lake Davidson, take a kayak out for a spin or just enjoy some serene and crystal clear views, the Lake Davidson Nature Preserve is a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone in your family. During your upcoming visit to Davidson NC make the nature preserve a must see event.
