Welcome to Daniel Stowe Conservancy in Belmont, NC—380 acres of preserved land open to the public every day. Just 20 miles from Uptown Charlotte on the shores of Lake Wylie, the Conservancy offers a peaceful escape into nature, perfect for walks, exploration, and outdoor community activities.

Beyond the gardens, a network of trails winds through forests and along riverbanks, leading to quiet lakefront areas where paddling and reflection await. As a nonprofit, the Conservancy invests every dollar from visitors, members, and donors back into preserving the property, maintaining its natural beauty, and providing educational and recreational experiences for the community.
