Lake Rhodhiss is 3,500 acres of Catawba River reservoir stretching from Rhodhiss dam south past Granite Falls. If you’re a boat, jet ski, or pontoon owner using Rhodhiss regularly, Northstar Self Storage at 636 Nuway Circle, Lenoir is the closest specialty parking facility — 8 minutes from the Rhodhiss public boat access on NC-268, and set up specifically for boats and trailers rather than passenger vehicles.
A lot of storage facilities have outdoor parking spots that are just car-sized spaces with a boat crammed into them. Northstar’s outdoor parking layout is built for real-world boats and trailers — lane widths that let you actually pull in without an angle, spot sizes that fit pontoons and larger fishing boats, and turning room to hitch and unhitch without wrestling.
Catawba chain reservoirs have some sediment. Rinsing and drying a boat at home means dragging a hose out, wet driveways, and the trailer sitting in your grass. Storing at Northstar means the boat can drip-dry on gravel in a proper stall, not on your lawn.
A lot of Lenoir and Caldwell County subdivisions don’t allow boats parked in driveways. Northstar solves that. You visit weekly (or however often you’re on the water) and the HOA never knows.
Gate hours 6 AM to 10 PM, seven days a week. Pull the boat before dawn for early-morning fishing, put it back after sunset. On the water when the weather’s good, out of the elements the rest of the time.
Outdoor boat and trailer parking at Northstar starts affordably — typically substantially less than a covered dry-stack marina slot, and available month-to-month with no long-term contract, no security deposit. See Rent Online for current availability and pricing, or call (828) 754-6550.
Along with outdoor boat parking, Northstar carries standard drive-up storage units 5x10 through 10x30 — for engine parts, fishing gear, coolers, safety equipment, canvas tops, and off-season winterization supplies. A small unit paired with an outdoor spot lets you keep the boat AND the gear consolidated in one place, five minutes off US-321.
