Greenfield Lake
Greenfield Lake
Cape Fear River Watch manages the Greenfield Lake boathouse under a contract with the City of Wilmington.
Come enjoy Greenfield Lake from the water on one of our 2 or 4-person paddleboats, kayaks or canoes!
Nestled in the heart of Wilmington, the lake is rich in history and full of wonderful views.
See Spanish moss draped over 100-year-old cypress trees where dozens of bird species congregate seasonally and year-round.
Greenfield Lake is also an opportune place to see the American alligator in its natural habitat. NO feeding!
For an aerial view of Greenfield Lake, check out the great drone footage in the video provided to us by John Lewis.
