High Rock Lake, Reservoir in Davidson and Rowan Counties, North Carolina, United States.

High Rock Lake extends across 15,180 acres with a maximum depth of 59 feet near the dam, forming a substantial water body on the Yadkin River.

The Tallassee Power Company, an Alcoa subsidiary, constructed High Rock Lake between 1926 and 1927 to support hydroelectric operations at Badin Works.

The lake hosts multiple fishing tournaments throughout the year, drawing participants from across the region to compete in bass fishing competitions.

Multiple public boat ramps provide free access to the lake, with no restrictions on watercraft motor size and numerous facilities for water recreation.

The reservoir features 365 miles of shoreline where visitors can find numerous camping spots, marinas, and residential communities along the water edge.
