Salem Lake has been called the hidden diamond in the city of Winston-Salem. Located minutes away from the action of downtown, Salem Lake offers a 7-mile trail with a scenic view of the 365-acre lake, no matter your vantage point.


Get out on the water with Jon boats and kayak rentals available at the Salem Lake Marina Center, or bring the whole family for self-guided kid-friendly scavenger hunts. Be sure to stop by the playground before you leave!
