Those wanting to go boating are seen off into the lake on canoes and pedal boats which are rented on hourly basis. The charges are $5 per hour increased by $3 for every additional(附加的) hour. The boats can be kept on the lake all day from 10 in the morning till 5 in the evening during the summers. Both canoes and pedal boats can seat 2 to 4 people.
The park also set up a group tent camp, where a site can hold about 25 people. People from all over the country come here to catch some fishing action, obviously hoping to catch some fish as well. The inner park lake is also great for fishing, though it offers a smaller area compared to Lake Norman. Those here for adventure like to go for biking and hiking on the trails inside the park.

She said, “Hi, handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically  13  , “Of course you may!” and she gave me a giant  14 . “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked.
She  15  replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…”
“No seriously,” I asked. I was  16   what may have motivated her to be taking on this  17  at her age.
“I always dreamed of having a   18   and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she  19  made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention bestowed upon her from the other   20  . She was living it up.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or  24  . The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in  25 . Have no regrets.”
