Stony Mountain Boat Ramp provides public access to Lake Tillery on the Pee Dee River near Albemarle in Stanly County. This county-operated facility serves as a convenient launch point for paddlers and motorboats accessing the lake and its scenic shoreline. The ramp is suitable for kayaks, canoes, and larger watercraft, making it a versatile entry point for various water activities.
Lake Tillery is a popular destination for both paddling and fishing, with good populations of bass, crappie, catfish, and bream. The Pee Dee River system here is a major waterway with substantial flow (averaging over 9,000 cubic feet per second), so paddlers should be prepared for moderate current conditions. Art Lilley Campground is located within 10 miles, providing overnight camping options for those planning extended trips.
