Swift Island Boat Landing is the largest boat launch facility on Lake Tillery, featuring a paved parking lot with 100 boat trailer spaces. Located at 4917 NC Hwy. 24/27 in Mt.

Gilead, it accommodates boats within the lake's 32-foot length restriction, though boaters should note the low bridge when exiting the cove and use Lilly's Bridge access if operating vessels with fixed structures or tall canopies.
