Abstract:

In 1928, Duke Power Company impounded the 4,100 acres of water now called Lake Hickory. The reservoir on the Catawba River is surrounded by Alexander, Caldwell, and Catawba Counties. The city of Hickory borders the lake on the south side. The lake is one of the state's most popular fishing waters. Richardson discusses access and accommodations, physical features, fish populations, and water sports there.
