Badin Lake

In the Uwharrie Lakes Region of North Carolina, the Yadkin-Pee Dee River was dammed to form a number of lakes, including Badin Lake. The Badin Lake Dam, named for its creator Adrien Badin, was constructed in 1917 to support the nearby Alcoa aluminum smelting facility. In February 2017, the power generation plant was sold to Cube Hydro Carolinas. North Carolina's Piedmont region includes Badin Lake. In the North Carolina town of Badin, Narrows Dam controls it. The lake, which is located within a valley, is exceptionally deep, reaching a maximum depth of 190 feet (58 m). The lake's area is 5,350 acres (22 km2), and its shoreline extends for 115 miles (185 km). The counties of Stanly, Davidson, Montgomery, and Rowan all contain the lake. The Uwharrie National Forest contains a significant portion of the lake's eastern shoreline.

Golf, fishing, boating, hiking, camping, and hunting are just a few of the numerous recreational options available at Badin Lake to both locals and guests.

Largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, spotted bass, white bass, and striped bass are just a few of the game fish found in Badin Lake. Fish don't exist in Badin Lake.
