You can take a boat out on Lake Harmony or Big Boulder Lake to just roam around or do a little fishing. You can also fish along the edge of the water, or sit on the shore and watch the world go by.
Boat rentals are available at Split Rock Resort, and a fly fishing shop called Evening Hatch is located in town if you need any special equipment or more supplies.
The Big Boulder Lake area is also home to Big Boulder Ski Resort where visitors can enjoy some winter activities such as skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing.
