Lake & Outdoors
Lake Wylie and the Outdoors
Water, woods and fairways near southwest Charlotte — labeled honestly as public, private or membership-based.
Four ideas to keep separate
- Near the lake — a location relationship only.
- Community access — an amenity granted by documents to certain lots.
- Waterfront property — a parcel that actually meets the shoreline.
- Private dock rights — a permitted structure tied to specific approvals and conditions.
