Lake Johnson Park

Lake Johnson has paved greenway and natural surface trails, fishing, public programs, seasonal boat rentals, indoor & outdoor facility rentals, and a swimming pool.

Fishing is permitted from the boardwalk, fishing pier, designated bank fishing area, and personal paddle craft (all NC fishing regulations apply).

Rod and Reel Loaner: for more information, view the Waterfront Program Center information.

All visitors fishing must have a current North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) fishing license.

Hammock posts are installed along the greenway trail to provide the opportunity to stop, relax, and enjoy the lake views. Hammocking is permitted only in designated areas.

Walk the park trails or sit at one of the numerous spots along the trails to observe wildlife found throughout the park.

QR Fit Trail
Patrons can now easily combine upper body, core, flexibility, and lower body exercises with walking or running. Six stations, found on the west side of the park, cover approximately a one-mile loop where patrons can stop and use their smartphone QR reader apps to access short videos that lead through specific types of exercises.

Boat Rentals are now available through a third-party vendor Wake Rack. Kayaks and Stand Up Paddleboards (SUPs) are located near the Waterfront Center in lockers.
