Oak Hollow Lake is an 800-acre reservoir located in High Point, North Carolina, offering diverse paddling opportunities. The primary access point is Oak Hollow Marina at 3431 N Centennial Street, where paddlers can launch their craft. The lake is open year-round for boating, with seasonal hours from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. during peak summer months (May 13 - August 4) and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in late summer (August 5 - September 8).

Kayak and paddleboard rentals are available at the marina from spring through fall when water temperatures exceed 65°F. Rentals start at 7 a.m. and must be returned by 6 p.m. daily. A $4 launch fee is required for personal watercraft. The lake features clear blue waters and offers a peaceful paddling experience with scenic views and occasional wildlife sightings, including ducks.

Oak Hollow Lake is known for its fishing opportunities, with 11 boat-accessible fishing sites scattered around the reservoir. These sites, enhanced with fish attractors, are home to largemouth bass and other sport fish. Six sites are located in deeper waters suitable for summer and winter fishing, while five are in shallow areas ideal for spring fishing.

Paddlers should be aware of other water activities, including fishing boats and sailboats that share the lake. The lake's 800-acre size provides ample space for exploration, with a mix of open areas and tranquil coves. While specific paddling routes are not mentioned, the lake's varied shoreline and fishing sites offer interesting destinations for day trips.

For those new to paddleboarding, local outfitters offer introductory lessons on the lake, providing instruction on equipment, proper techniques, and water safety. These lessons typically last around 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Facilities at Oak Hollow Marina include restrooms and changing rooms. The surrounding Oak Hollow Lake Park features hiking and biking trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas, enhancing the overall recreational experience for paddlers and their families.
