Shanghai Resort

Shanghai Resort & Marina offers a full-service launch ramp on Norris Lake near LaFollette, making it a convenient put-in for paddlers and boaters exploring this large reservoir. The facility includes restrooms, a courtesy dock, marine supplies, and additional amenities such as covered boat slips and a pump-out service. The resort overlooks Shanghai Cove with easy access from the parking area to the launch ramp.

Norris Lake is a substantial impoundment on the Powell River system, characterized by relatively calm, reservoir conditions ideal for kayakers, canoeists, and recreational boaters. The access point sits in a scenic area with multiple coves and inlets to explore. Given the full-service marina facilities available on-site, Shanghai Resort is well-suited for paddlers planning day trips or longer outings who may need supplies, fuel, or other boating services.
