The boating access area would include a two-lane ramp with floating courtesy docks and approximately 40 parking spaces. A planned shooting range would feature a 100-yard rifle range, a 20-yard pistol range and a 50-yard rifle/pistol range. The site for the project was provided by the N.C. Division of Prisons.
