Blewett Falls Lake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blewett Falls Lake (sometimes spelled Blewitt Falls Lake) is a man-made lake located in Anson County and Richmond County in North Carolina. No bridges span the lake. It is a major lake in the Uwharrie Lakes Region and the southernmost and widest body in this chain of lakes. Created by the daming of the Great Pee Dee River, the lake occupies the former Blewett Falls on that river. The lake was created for hydropower in the early 20th century.

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].
