This place is very calm but no fish it's hard to catch. The area is limited and there is a small picnic area.

I bookmarked this spot for the seasonal spider lillies. After self-paying the admission fee and…read moreparking, the walk along the shore was quite pleasant on a mild day. Despite the river views, it took a half hour or so to get to the spider lillies, which are apparently limited to one particular location. It was hard to see them from shore, made harder by rising waters (the festival the previous day was likely thrown off by rain). I got enough of a glimpse of them to understand where the name comes from. The overall aesthetic of the park offered remnants of a historic canal, and boating and picnicking opportunities. It was a pleasant space, but not at the top of ones I'd want to drive out to and pay for.

Finally checked off Landsford Canal Park off my park bucket list! If you wanna see something thats…read moreabsolutely gorgeous and unique, this is a must see. The Rocky Spider Lily's are only located in certain areas ( SC, GA, and AL). Hoping to see them in another state as well. Its all about timing, make sure you check the websites for a bloom updates. The park is well kept and bathrooms are clean, which is a plus. During the Lily Festival parking is limited, so pack your patience. You will get parking, so no worries. The cost is $6 for each adult, very reasonable considering. They have a store with maps for the walking trails, its approx 1mile roundtrip to see the Lily's. If you want to see them up close and personal you must rent a canoe prior to coming. The park doesnt rent boats, a outside company will take you on a tour. I actually enjoyed the nature trails. They have a nice platform for viewing the lily's. The lily's are absolutely breathtaking, I truly enjoyed my day at this park. The trails are fairly short and well taken care of. There are some food and artisan vendors at the park. Tip: dont touch the lily's if your on a boat, all parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested. Please do your own research beforehand. Thankfully most people are viewing from the platform. Fabulous day indeed, fresh air, steps, and peace! @glampedlife

For over thirteen years, my family and I have had several boats at Wateree Marina. Before then, we…read morewere transitioning between Lake Wylie Marina, Long Cove Marina, and Terry's Marina for about 20 years. With all of our experience in boating, my family and I can confirm that Wateree Marina has been the best move thus far. Their owner, his wife, and everyone else who works there knows our names. And they all go out of their way to make sure all of our needs are met. (within reason) When our boat needs repair work, which all boats do, their mechanic Randy ensures it is done correctly. For example, I'll never forget one 4th of July several years ago when Jamie, who is the sales person at Wateree, came to pick something up from work. Jamie was already aware that we were camping at the camp ground across the river that week on our vacation. He quickly found us sitting at the dock with our boat that refused to start. Even on his day off, Jamie stopped to help us. He put a new starter in our boat right then and there, just so that we could enjoy our family vacation. The Wateree Marina has consistently been a positive influence in our boating experience, and I can assure that they will provide the same for anyone who comes across the beauty of Lake Wateree. Sincerely, The Kendrick Family.

This is a nice lake but very small. Beautiful scenery. People camp on the banks. This is a nice…read morespot for a Pontoon boat or very small speed boat. Lots of fishing as well.

My friend and I walk every Sunday in…read morethe greenways in Charlotte but this morning I suggested we try this place I drove thru while exploring Rock Hill. Wow, what a great change in scenery. We did 7 miles on and thru the trails along the river. We started at the river park entrance off the industrial highway (I'm not good with directions) and ended at the River Walk by the Pump House before turning around. It was a great workout with some hills but the views were the Star. Old bridges, big metal bridges, swings on the river banks and wooden trails thru the woods' this place is a gem. Can't wait to go back

The trail I spotted is clearly marked with blazes. It's not handicapped accessible with a few scrabble areas and some felled trees that would need to be stepped over. The hike would likely land on the "easy" end of the scale and it's very pleasant to walk through the woods. The sign indicates that the park closed November 4 and is estimated to be complete in late Spring 2020. Users of the Piedmont Medical Center Trail at 100 Celriver Road can still access the trail. Remember to always hike with a friend! [Review 13039 overall, 356 of 2020.]

Well...we bought a resale and moved into it in September, 2012. A very good choice…read more Lots of activities and clubs. Facilities include a full gym, pool, tennis courts, bacchi ball lanes, extensive walking trails, paddle tennis/pickle ball courts, horseshoe pits and even a ball field. Also a boat house and canoe & kayak club on the Catawba River. Just about everyone has a golf cart and you can get just about anywhere using them. Friendly is the theme. People wave at each other and are anxious to meet and introduce themselves whenever you meet. Monday nights are presentations as part of the life-long learning group. We have had podiatrists, bush pilots, authors, historians, financial planners and others give one-hour talks that are really interesting and kept within that one-hour limit. Lots of dances, plays, comedians and even an opera took place since we have been here. Biggest threat is to get too involved in too many activities. Not a bad threat. Well. getting ready to meet with the Old Stogies group tonight whose charter is to smoke cigars and solve the world's problems. Someone has to do it.

We have been living here for 6 years and have enjoyed every minute. Our priorities for a…read moreretirement community were that it be inland, near a major airport, close to a large city, and offer plenty of amenities. SCCL offers that and much more. There is a club, event or activity for almost anyone. For the less active person it is a very well kept aesthetically appealing neighborhood, close to shopping and many restaurants. After 13 years ( I think building began in 2006) major updating and renovating will soon begin on our Lakehouse. It will be a major disruption in our primary amenity center and , understandably, has caused some grumbling and disagreement throughout the community. My feeling is that if we are to retain our position as the premier 55+ community of the Carolinas, we need to accept the inconvenience and enjoy the outcome! No community is perfect, but if you're looking for a fun- filled active retirement with friendly neighbors and a lovely environment- you should check out Sun City Carolina Lakes!
