Lake Brandt Park.Have you taken advantage of Lake Brandt Park? Great place to have an affordable day outside with the family. Pier fishing and renting kayaks or john boats for the entire day is only a few bucks. There are a few picnic tables or a pavilion for rent. Check it out while the 🐟 are biting! 🚣🌳🦆#gettoknowgso

If youre someone you likes to Mountain bike and I be on the water, this is a great area.The Mountain biking portion is a trail that connects to Burmil Park.

Staff is awesome, always willing to help. I went kayaking by my self and she helped me to unload and then load my kayak on my car. I did the yearly membership because Im definitely coming back every time a have a chance.

Very beautiful! Expansive lake, forested banks with majestic sky. Nature to soothe the soul.

Lake Brandt has a nice variety of outdoor places to walk around and admire. Conveniently located on the northern side of Greensboro, and a safe place for families to spend time together getting some fresh air! Photos by Brooke Grogan Photography.

Great day, sailing and great prices!! 100% recommend!!

Our favourite spot to relax and watch the serene lake, specially during sunset.And the shades keep changing with the seasons.

Helpful staff. Good place to boating and fishing. Boat rental is available.

Out kayaking on the lake. So nice.

Great area to hang out by the lake, go kayaking or jump on a nearby trail.

One of my favourite lake in Greensboro. Good for family/friends activities as well as spending some personal time staring at the lake. There is cycling trails around the lake trees if thats what you are into. Overall a big 5 rating.

We had a great time

What a great Marina and Oak Hollow is a beautiful lake in High Point N.C.

Rent row boats, get bait, launch your boat, pretty sure they have kayaks and canoes too, prices are reasonable, not a bad place to spend a few hours.

I always enjoy being on the lake here!

Fantastic place to enjoy some time with family. Kayak or canoe. Lake is really nice and the stay working there really helpful.

Beautiful Location! Clean & Well Kept. Beautiful Views. Great fir fishing, kayaking, canoeing or just to relax & take in all the Beauty. Definitely Recommend. Will continue to visit.

Great MTB trails. Facilities are always clean the times I have been there. Maybe 2-3 times a month.

Beautiful hiking trails and a nice marina to fish at and rent boats! This is a nice place to visit if you are in town just visiting or staying for an extended amount of time in Greensboro.

This is a watersport haven.Lake Brandt Marina is exhaustive for this with personal boating access, a fishing pier, a plethora of boats/paddles/gear for rent, and parking to accommodate it all. Prices for all of these activities are listed on signage at several places.There are several picnic tables, bathrooms, a shelter, and a small office with drink machines outside.If being on the water is your thing, Lake Brandt Marina is your jam.

Beautiful lake.

Will definitely return. Really reasonable prices and a great way to get a work out in and relax all at the same time!

You can have a well spent evening there... nice calm place... enjoy the breeze sitting front of lakeside...

Having lived in Greensboro for two years, I am disappointed I didnt discover this area sooner! I think the marina is nice and offers some good trails (which is what I have used) and some water sports (paddle boarding, canoeing, etc.). Since we dont have real mountains in this part of NC this is a nice way to be able to hike.My only recommendations for the place would be for there to be some trash cans (especially for us with dogs) and perhaps more trail options that loop around (without having to go all the way around the lake).

So beautiful and so relexing in your day off get all stress out of your mind pure nature helping you have good feeling keep. Have good mind please all friends and family

It is a cool place to kayak, the trails are decently clean, and the rental boats, and stand-up paddle boards get booked on days like memorial-day, veterans-day, and other holidays, and on the weekends

PERFECT PLACE for a sunny day & if you’re plus sized the kayaks still fit

Never knew that this amazing place is only few minutes away from OAk Ridge! Great place to have relaxed fun time within minutes from Oak Ridge, GSO and High Point! Boating, Fishing and trails!

Great place to relax and watch nature. Only drawback is people who buy a pair of boots and think it makes them a Eco-warrior. But, theyre harmless. Enjoy the real world!!!!?

Great fishing but the guy working inside the marina needs a job where he doesnt have to work with the public, VERY RUDE!!

Truly missing the warm weather and kayaking here!!! I went kayaking here for the first time at Lake Brandt years ago and decided to go back this passed summer to make it an every weekend thing. I can’t wait to go back!

Good hiking trails in the area. More hills than expected, traversing many ravines.

Beautiful place. You cant swim in this place.

The scenery is beautiful to look at. They have many activities that you can do. You also dont need to pay to visit either, you could just come and relax if you need to clear your head. Definitely one of my favorite lakes to go to.

Wonderful.Silence.Nice view...

Hiked the MST eastbound. Lovely trail

Cheap boat rentals, picnic tables on the lake and access to 3 hiking trail choices and mountain bike trails. Bathrooms and a drink machine that takes credit cards. You can put in your own boat for a fee. Closed Tues and Wed.

Nice peer for fishing. Nice staff and very clean

Perfect Quite Place to Relax.

Beautiful place but the trail was closed. I wish that info was updated on the site.

Nice small marina, friendly people!

Great place for boating.

Very nice place for the boat and fishing,relaxing with my family

Nice hiking lake side

Very peaceful. Beautiful view.

Love it Awesome place 💕

What a blessing to have a place like this in your home town. Easy access, and beautiful surroundings. Two boat ramps, kayaks and small boats for hire. The lake itself is beautiful. Full of fish and migrating waterfowl. You should check it out

Love coming here to kayak or hike the trails. Its beautiful and well maintained.

Lake Brandt and all the Greensboro Parks are well managed, maintained and fun. If you have kids 13 to 16, look at the upcoming events coming up.

You have to see this place in person to appreciate it

Great place for a tranquil kayaking experience.

Quiet beautiful lake to paddleboard, canoe, kayak, fish. Not crowded during weekdays.

Incredible place! Loved the people working. Boat was great. Experienced 20+ black bass, and wonderful weather! Best city lake to fish, by FAR! Ill return every year when I visit family! Thanks City of Greensboro for always making it a pleasurable experience!

Its a good place to relax whether picnicking, kayaking, fishing from a boat, or just reading a book while relaxing along the shoreline. The water is beautiful, the song birds are plentiful, and the sun is comforting and inviting. It is safe and secure without being over patrolled.

Has kayaks for renting or you can bring your own; boat dock; benches by water to relax and brunch; dock for fishing

The marina was absolutely lovely. I ended up here in the middle of a trail run and decided to take a brief test to enjoy the water. It was a cooler morning and still fairly early so I didnt encounter anyone else though someone was driving up as I left. It looked like there was a place to rent kayaks or canoes to take out onto the lake and this seems like a great place to do it. All in all I would certainly recommend this spot for a beautiful day connecting to nature!

Fantastic mountain biking trails around Lake Brandt like Wild Turkey and Reedy Fork, and more, all with the potential for long mileage for your ride or run and a good workout for all levels of mountain biking or running. The faster you ride it, the better for line choice.

Great marina with rental kayaks, canoes and paddleboards. There are also nearby trails for hiking.

1 of 3 lakes which share boating and fishing access. The smallest of the 3, but staffed by VERY friendly personnel who want to get people on their water.Closed every Tuesday. Open sunrise to sunset year round. Animal friendly. Picnic tables available, boat rentals, hunting and fishing license sold here. Average water depth 6 feet, but no swimming as this is a city water supply. No motorized boats for same reason but electric engines OK (small lake - no real need though ). Handicap accessible but no handicapped boats available. This is a city park - no alcoholic beverages allowed. Please remember to stay hydrated.Havent tried the hiking or biking trails yet, will edit review once I have. There are several bike clubs and bird watching clubs who come here often so until my review, you should come out here and judge them yourself.

Beautiful area and great to kayak rentals. I just wish that they would put a bathroom on the other side of the lake. It sucks to be 3 hours into a kayaking session only to have to turn back because you have to go to the bathroom and you are on the other side of the lake!

Beautiful area..very well kept..

Beautiful

Lots of great trails close to Greensboro.

Beautiful city park with canoe, kayak, and sailboat rentals. Live bait including bass and crappie minnows. Walking trails in every direction. Designated mountain bike trails and designated foot traffic only trails. Easy to hike to and access the North Carolina Mountains to Sea Trail. Lots of fish, waterfowl, and wildlife to view. Leashed dogs are welcome.

Pretty cool check in a separate area then the rentals

Fun little place to take my child and be outside andfish a little.

Beautiful lake! Lake Brandt has the advantage of being large enough to give you plenty of room to explore & small enough that you dont feel totally isolated all the time. Theres a variety of wildlife, including deer, herons, eagles & ducks ; theres fishing & hiking & biking trails all around the lake. Kayak rental is extremely reasonably priced and worth every cent. Easily, its my favorite place to get a dose of nature.

Had a blast with some friends canoeing. The only issue is the price points. They need to be more clear. Glad I brought enough money with me.

A very busy outdoor recreation area with a lot to offer. You can launch boats, canoes, kayaks and paddle boards. There are also hiking and biking trails and great fishing.

The hiking trails are great for someone who wants a short educational walk in a natural area up to a 12 mile loop around Lake Brandt. Trails are natural with hills and wooden bridges. Bird sightings and calls are many, with a chance to see deer and other animals.

I really enjoyed myself great experience but the workers are very rude an not helpful

Staff was very professional! She took us out about a 2 mile total! 😌 Great guide! Bring workout gloves or bike gloves so that you dont get a callous from gripping paddle. CamelPack for water especially on hotter days. A hat, shades, and sunscreen during Summer! Great up close and personal wildlife! Binoculars are cool if you can balance all of that in a canoe 💪💪💪🏊🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️🏊🚣🚣‍♀️🚣‍♂️

Great bike trail, hiking trail, and marina

Great location to go for a quick 7 mile hike during this time of the year. Wild Turkey Trail

I loved it.. good place to fish and just relaxation.. beautiful out there too!

Well maintained place for all family members, staff members friendly and professional, returning every year all season long

Beautiful lake--great for paddle boarding. I traveled 2 hours from Raleigh to attend Paddle Fest event hosted by Get Outdoors. Loved it and will return. Theres a Wholes Food & other shopping plaza on the road to the lake. I stopped & got lunch for the lake.

A under rated facility and a hidden gem in Greensboro.

Theyve got small boats to rent

It was my first time paddle boating. Although there was no one to give specific directions, people on the water encouraged & gave instructions. It was relaxing. Talk about an arm work out!!!!

Excellent laid-back atmosphere but with all the safety precautions in place and thoroughly attentive Wildlife officers to help with any needs

I participated in the night time kayak paddle and had an awesome time! It was beautiful watching the sun go done & the stars come out while your on the water and hearing all the creatures and I would recommend it to all!

This lake is ok.

Adding more facilities would help

Nice place to take a paddle. Very reasonable kayak, SUP rental. Saw lots of great egrets and great herons, osprey.

Beautiful scenery

I live right on the lake and its perfect. When I go kayaking I can almost see my house! The kayak was clean and the staff was incredible. They elucidated us very well. Lake was beautiful to explore.

Hassle free experience. Good prices. Friendly staff

The lake is beautiful. Its a great place to fish.

Great lake with kayak and stand up paddle boards along with canoes and fishingThe personnel ggo above and beyond in helping (first time kayaking) me!

A lovely place and treasure for the city. Paddle board rentals are a blast. Sunset over the lake is beautiful. Have had interactions with employees at the rental office that were incredibly kind and helpful to indifferent and borderline rude. Absent that issue this place is great and a must visit. Can get very crowded on Saturday.

Love this place!I have been visiting it for 20 years. A jewel, with great views, of birds, and sky, with great trails as well!

The staff is friendly and the equipment exceeded my expectations. I thought the rates were hourly because they were so inexpensive; it was $12 for the whole day for a kayak.

Lake Brandt & lake Higgins r,great places 2,go4,fun & sun u,can fish, kayak, they rent boats 2,

The lake was beautiful, we picked the perfect day to go. We didnt read the rules so we brought our dog hoping to kayak around the lake, so that is on us. The employee at the office was 100% a jerk. I asked hows the fishing? He said there are fish in the lake. Definitely not a people person, other than his negativity it was a blast.Get Outdoors Paddlesports saved the trip, they had a demo day and we were able to try multiple kayaks with our dog!

Get outdoors and paddle had a kayak demo day there it was really fun.

Called today, and it sounds a little expensive for commoners to use a kayak or canoe on this beautiful lake. These are my thoughts. If you want healthier people and more revenue, charge a modest fee perhaps per hour. Poor people deserve healthy spots to enjoy the outdoors. Being in nature translates into fewer meds. This makes for a healthy society. Again, these are my thoughts. Think, Win-Win-Win Situation.

Nice place for kayaking. You can also rent kayak from here with only $12.

I visit here every weekend for the great hiking trails. Beautiful lake and even better in the spring when the purple martins are nesting!

I went kayaking for the first time and it was exhilarating. The staff werr extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. They have Kayak, Canoe, Stand up Kayak, bike, & nature trails available.
