About This Access Site
Mt Holly Boat Landing provides access to the Catawba River, a major river system in North Carolina with a drainage area of nearly 4,400 square miles. At this location, the river is characterized by a moderate to strong current with an average flow of over 6,100 cubic feet per second and average velocity of 5.45 feet per second. The Catawba River has a notable gradient of 12.4 feet per mile in this region, indicating moving water that requires attention from paddlers and boaters. This section of river is suitable for experienced paddlers comfortable with river currents and potentially dynamic water conditions.
