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 paddle boats, 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. Feeding is NOT allowed.
