Copperhead Island is a 14 acre oasis located on Lake Wylie just south of Charlotte and it's prime real estate with access to one of the best little lakes in the state.

Rent it for the night and you may be surprised at what all you can enjoy when you have an island all to yourself...

For starters, the island has access to four boat ramps — perfect for launching small watercraft.

Whether you have a jet skis, canoes, kayaks, or small boats, it's the perfect place to call home for your weekend excursions on the water.

The island is owned and maintained by Mecklenburg County Parks and hosts a variety of trails through the 14 acres. In fact, a trail leads from the mainland parking area over to the island. If you rent the entire thing, you'll be able to bring a maximum of three vehicles over on the island. Everyone else gets to park in the mainland parking lot and take the footpath.

If you're planning a get together (think reunions or birthday parties) then Copperhead Island has you covered. An 80-person picnic shelter is available, along with facilities, electric and water, and a beach volleyball court.

Want to camp lakeside? Six primitive campsites are available so you can wake up to the sun rising over the lake.

It's hard to imagine we've made it this far without knowing about this secret little island for rent just outside the Queen City, but now that you know... you'll want to reserve the island for an event of your own.

If you want to explore it first, then the island is open to the public daily as long as it isn't reserved by a private party.
