Lake Twitty

The City of Monroe Water Resources Department announces the opening of Lake Twitty beginning on Saturday, July 29. 

During the first week of opening, the lake will be open daily. Beginning the week of August 7, Lake Twitty will be closed on Mondays. 

Operating hours are generally sunrise to sunset and can be confirmed by checking with the Lake Inspector station at the lake, or by checking our Lakes Webpage

The open season for Lake Twitty will run from July 29 to approximately November 1. The November closing date may be adjusted due to weather and other factors and will be announced approximately two weeks before the lakes close. 

Permitted activities are boating and fishing during the hours of operation and when an inspector is on duty. No other activities are allowed.

The operation of the City lakes is governed by City and State regulations.  The City must comply with North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s drinking water regulations in operating the lakes since they are classified for use as a drinking water supply source.
