Pontoon boats, kayaks, and SUP boards can be rented from the North Shore Cabana on the Rumbling Bald Beach.

If you have time, we highly recommend a visit to the town of Chimney Rock, which is a 20-25 minute drive from Rumbling Bald.

A beautiful community garden that sits atop a historic bridge. 20-25 minute drive from Rumbling Bald and about 5 minutes from Chimney Rock.
