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.

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.
