Lake Tillery, Reservoir in Uwharrie Lakes Region, North Carolina, US
Lake Tillery spans 5,000 acres with 117.8 miles of shoreline, extending through both Stanly County and Montgomery County in North Carolina.
The Tillery Dam, completed in 1928, was constructed as an 87-megawatt hydroelectric facility, initially operated by Carolina Power before transferring to Duke Energy.
The town of Norwood in Stanly County embraces its connection to the reservoir by using the motto Gateway to Lake Tillery.
Swift Island Boat Landing provides the largest launch facility on the lake with parking spaces for 100 boat trailers and direct access to the water.
The Swift Island Bridge from 1922 remained standing despite multiple military training exercises that attempted to demolish the concrete structure.
