Cowans Ford Dam created the largest manmade

1963. The total length of the facility is 7,387 feet, including more than
a mile of earthen dam. The concrete portion of the dam is 1,279 feet long
and 130 feet high.
Lake Norman is an "inland sea" with
a surface area of more than 32,475 acres. Named
after former Duke Power president Norman Cocke, Lake Norman
is nearly as large as the other ten lakes on the Catawba combined.
Full pond elevation at Lake Norman is 760
feet. The water of Lake Norman is used in two ways to provide electricity
to the Piedmont Carolinas. It is used to power the generators at Cowans
Ford Hydroelectric Station and by Marshall Steam Station and McGuire
Nuclear Station to cool the steam that drives the turbines. This steam is
condensed back to water so it can be pumped back through the plants and
used again.
The lake provides a dependable supply of
water to Lincoln County, Davidson, NC
Mooresville NC, Charlotte
Mecklenburg and Huntersville NC.
