Belews Lake

Belews Lake may be seen from a high, broad ridge where the house is located, and it is serenely beautiful there. However, the hardwood forests and untainted rivers have their own charm thanks to the variety of native plants, fish, turtles, and birds that they support.

In 1973, Belews Lake entered the annals of time. With a surface area of around 4,000 acres and 88 miles of shoreline, it is one of the most beautiful lakes in North Carolina. It was built as a cooling basin for Duke Energy's Belews Creek Steam Station using the water flow from Belews Creek and a dam at the northern end. Belews Lake, one of the cleanest in North Carolina, has a wealth of healthy and diversified fish populations because to work made in the 1980s to establish a healthy lake environment. Belews was recently dubbed "lake of the month" by Carolina Sportsman and called one of the state's "undiscovered treasures." The Steam Station is presently dual-fuel and is in the process of gradually switching to 100% natural gas as part of Duke Energy's ongoing commitment to environmental quality. Belews Lake should continue to provide crystal-clear waters, excellent fishing, and an abundance of watersports possibilities for many years to come.
