Blewett Falls Lake is a man-made lake located in Anson County and Richmond County in North Carolina. It is a major lake in the Uwharrie Lakes Region, created for hydropower in the early 20th century by the formation of the dam on the Yadkin-Pee Dee River. The lake occupies the former Blewett Falls on the Great Pee Dee River.
The lake is located at 079°52'40"W, 034°58'58"N and has a surface area of 2,560 acres at an elevation of 178' above sea level with 34 miles of shoreline[1].
