Lake Gaston Info
The closest marinas by water are Poplar Creek Marina, Holly Grove Marina and Eaton’s Ferry Marina. Eaton’s Ferry and the Stonehouse Timber Lodge are the closest by land (the other two are on the north side of the lake, so 5 minutes by boat ends up being about 30-40 minutes by land. All have gas. Poplar Creek has more boating supplies. Holly Grove has an extensive fishing supply store, and also has good sandwiches, hot dogs and hamburgers. Eaton’s Ferry has a great grill for burgers & fries (etc.), and kids love feeding the fish off the docks.

I recommend Lake Gaston Sales and Service (Phone 252-586-4002). We bought our boat there, and they have given us good service. They are located off the lake just South of the Eaton Ferry bridge (you’ll see the signs). For someone on the lake, I’ve not used them for any boat repairs yet, but I’d give Poplar Creek Marina a try.
