Vance, Granville, and Warren counties in North Carolina are sporting new looks with the creation of a 51,200 acre lake behind John H. Kerr Dam. The 800 mile shoreline of the lake straddles the North Carolina-Virginia line, and what once was farm land is now brimming with bass, catfish, ducks, and geese. Kerr Lake is now open year round for boating, swimming, fishing, and other outdoor recreational activities.

Abstract:
Since 1963, the W. Kerr Scott Dam and Reservoir near Wilkesboro has benefitted the area by providing flood protection along the Yadkin River, as well as recreational opportunities and jobs. Operation Mainstream, a work-study program for the chronically unemployed, provides workers from Wilkes County to help clean up the debris left by the flood waters contained by the reservoir. In exchange, the workers get a paycheck, work counseling, and a basic education.

Abstract:
The author’s discussion of NC lakes reflected their importance as a source of recreation such as fishing and swimming, as well as backdrops for camping and picnicking. Examples were size (the Kerr Reservoir, fifty thousand acres), type (natural lakes are only in the Coastal Plain), and depth (Mattamuskeet, its greatest depth five feet). Discussed also were eastern lakes’ three groupings (peninsula between Pamlico River and Albemarle Sound; Pocosin slough between New Bern and Bogue Sound; in Columbus and Bladen county).
