Information on Lake Hickory

Lake Hickory has over 105 miles of shoreline, totaling over 4200 acres of surface area. Lake Hickory offers 16 boat launches and six marinas, and also a Great Steak & Seafood Restaurant you can visit by boat! The lake is a fully recreational lake for swimming, boating (gas or electric engines), sailing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boats, jet skiing, water skiing, tubing, wakeboarding etc. Waterfront lots owners can obtain Boat Docks Permits from Duke Power. During the summer months you can enter various fishing tournaments, since the lake abounds with many species of fish. There are several things that have made Lake Hickory extremely attractive: the constant water level, water clarity, and the shoreline. Since some communities use Lake Hickory as their drinking water supply, the water level remains constant, where other lakes in the Carolinas can vary dramatically. Water clarity is another reason why people want to be on Lake Hickory. Unlike most other North Carolina lakes, Lake Hickory offers a crystal blue color, because it has a sandy bottom, as opposed to clay. The attractive shoreline of Lake Hickory is one of its greatest assets. Duke Power, the owners of the lake, has kept over 20 miles of shoreline for natural areas. The rest of the shoreline displays custom built homes, ranging in size from 2,000 to 10,000+ square feet, with beautiful docks, many with second level viewing decks. With boating traffic rated as low to moderate, you can see why so many people describe the natural beauty of Lake Hickory as “breathtaking.” And when you see it, you will feel the same…
