John H. Moss Lake Recreation Park — Attraction in Kings Mountain

Not for public swimming, no designated green space shore buffer either as lake is mostly shorefront homes with no trails for hiking around. Oddly built as a water source reservoir but was more obviously constructed to promote local real estate ventures in mind.

Beautiful and peaceful park, small but cozy and they don't have campers on top of each other. Cute little playground for the kids and a nice couple spots to sit and watch the water. Beautiful sunsets...
