It's About Boating on Lake Norman ~ Safely:
Lake Norman is the largest lake in North Carolina and probably one of the busiest; along with this three area organizations, within the area, are still offering classes to acquaint boaters with rules of the water. In addition, 14 and 15 year-olds cannot operate a personal watercraft alone in North Carolina unless they have successfully completed an approved boating safety education course. Below are a few places offering boat safety classes and the locations.
