Lake Norman is one of the most beautiful and plentiful places on Earth. Located eighteen (18) miles north of Charlotte, North Carolina in the United States, Lake Norman is a magnificent lake that provides life to the 520 miles of shoreline it touches.
Lake Norman is unlike most lakes in that it was man-made a few decades back by Duke Energy to provide energy for the ever growing region. Back in the early 1990s, my Uncle Richard Kline was one of the first real estate lawyers contacted by Duke Power to help build up the residential and commercial properties around the area. He met my Aunt Jayne a decade later and so began my introduction and familiarity with the Lake Norman region.
The area is an absolute perfect example of how to grow a region the smart way and maintain a perfect balance of business and nature in the process.
Lake Norman has tons of public lake access areas and several parks scattered throughout the region. You can be on the middle of the Lake surrounded by miles and miles of water and then drive your boat to a restaurant marina and experience high dining on amazing levels.
As you can see, Lake Norman has a lot of wealth in its' community. A lot of its members are successful entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and politicians who relocated to Lake Norman to take advantage of all its benefits.
It has an incredible boating scene having almost 42,000 registered watercraft in the four (4) counties Lake Norman is apart of. Every weekend hundreds of boats come together and create "Cocktail Coves," huge chains of linked boats all having an epic time enjoying the beautiful lake.
Also, water sports such as wakeboarding, jet skiiing, and surfing (yes you can surf on a Lake) are huge here. There are always hundreds if not thousands of people on Lake Norman on a daily basis having an epic time and having fun with these sports and activities.
I have lived in the Lake Norman area several times in my life with the most recent being from May 2016 to August 2016.
The amount of positive energy from the people and places surrounding Lake Norman is unlike any place I have every seen. People really wave, smile, and try to have a conversation with you when passing by. The Southern lifestyle takes over down in the Lake Norman area and it is an absolutely wonder to be apart of it.
I have introduced more than twenty (20) of my closest friends to Lake Norman throughout my life so far and every person has changed for the better because of it.
So if you ever get a chance to visit or live in the Lake Norman area, I would jump at the opportunity as it is a truly magnificent place.
