In days gone by, this was one of the most popular weekend destinations, and was no more than a bunch of small trailers located on the southern tip of Lake Norman...the local folks summer fish camps... a short weekend get away.

That old fishing camp is now home to the Peninsula Yacht Club. Times have changed!
