Stoney Creek Marina is the oldest and smallest of the four marinas operated by the City of Burlington, North Carolina, located on a peaceful 140-acre reservoir. Only boats with electric trolling motors, canoes, and kayaks are permitted to launch from this site, keeping the lake genuinely quiet and low-traffic.
Rowboat rentals and a bank fishing area are available right at the marina, making it a relaxed spot for a day of fishing or paddling. Outside the marina gate, a parking area connects to the Haw River Hiking Trail, open year-round for hikers.
The marina operates seasonally, open Fridays and Saturdays only from March 6 through November 14 (closed in July and August). All bank fishing and rental boats must end 30 minutes before closing, with no new boat launches allowed in the final 90 minutes before the park closes.
For anglers and paddlers near Burlington looking for a quiet, electric-motor-only lake with rowboat rentals and bank fishing, Stoney Creek Marina offers a peaceful, city-run destination with easy access to the Haw River Trail.
