Lake Norman Real Estate
Lake Norman is a man made lake composed of 520 miles of shoreline with the deepest point of 110 feet with the average depth of 33.5 feet. This man made lake started construction in 1959 with completion in 1964 by Duke Power and covers 32,510 acres at full pond. Lake Norman came about by damning the Catawba River that spands North to South from the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina flowing south into South Carolina. The lake provides both power and drinking water to Charlotte and surrounding areas. Located on the North part of the Lake, in a town called Terrell, is the Marshall Steam Station.
