Lake Norman, the state's largest manmade lake was impounded in the early 1960's. Located  northwest of Charlotte, NC and southwest of Statesville, NC, Lake Norman rambles close to Interstate 77.   Named for Norman Atwater Cocke, a retired president of Duke Power, Lake Norman stretches 34 miles from Cowans Ford Dam on the southern end to the tailrace of Lookout Lake at the northern end. The lake provides plenty of room to stretch out and relax, with a surface area of 32,510 acres and a shoreline of approximately 520 miles. Several parks in Mecklenburg and southern Iredell County offer public access for swimming and boating.
