Cowans Ford Dam
at the southern end of
Lake Norman created the largest manmade
body of fresh water in North Carolina when it dammed the Catawba River in
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

Norman NC
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.
