Guilford-Mackintosh Park & Marina is operated by the City of Burlington in conjunction with Guilford County. It is located on Lake Mackintosh in Guilford County.         

Fishing, boating and paddling are allowed at this marina. Only boats with electric trolling motors are allowed to launch from this site. Kayaks, canoes, and row boats are available for rent on-site. Rentals are offered seasonally, so please call ahead to make sure they are available. See below for pricing information. 

The park has two multi-use hiking and bike trails - one that is a 1 mile loop and one that is a 3 mile loop. View the trail map here. Guilford Mackintosh also has an open-air shelter available for rental on a daily basis. There is also a sand volleyball court, horseshoes, and playground available. Guilford-Mackintosh has two areas for bank fishing and a pier with North Carolina Wildlife fish feeders and underwater fish attractors.
