Nitrolee Access Area provides the first public canoe/kayak launch on Great Falls Reservoir, featuring a hand launch, restroom facilities, parking, and an interpretive display.

The site offers access to both flatwater paddling on the reservoir and whitewater runs in the bypass channels (Class II-III Long Bypass and Class III-IV Short Bypass), with scheduled recreational flow releases available through Duke Energy.

Motorboats are not permitted in the paddling areas, making it ideal for a peaceful flatwater experience that's accessible year-round.
