NC Fishing Access For All of NC
NC Fishing Access For All of NC
· Site name and the entity that owns or maintains the site;
· And other public access areas owned and/or maintained by entities other than the
Wildlife Resources Commission. These sites are operated by other state or federal
agencies, county governments, municipalities, power companies, or local
nongovernment organizations. While every effort is made to provide accurate and
up to-date information, the conditions and accessibility of these areas are subject
to change. Please contact the listed sponsor for additional information.
While some areas include a small maintenance fee, as noted under "more information," the sites
listed do not include for-profit entities, such as marinas.
Some public access areas are located on private lands. Fishing is allowed at these areas because
individual landowners and local organizations have generously provided access to the public for
fishing. Show your appreciation for these opportunities by removing your trash, parking within
designated parking areas, and being respectful of their property. Failure to do so could result in
the closure of these access areas in the future.
For the latest freshwater fishing regulations, including seasons, size limits and daily harvest limits,
refer to the current North Carolina Inland Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Regulations Digest or visit
ncwildlife.org. For the latest saltwater fishing regulations, visit the N.C. Division of Marine
Fisheries website, portal.ncdenr.org/web/mf/recreational-fishing-size-andbaglimits.
