Why do you think Lake Norman exists? It was built for the purpose of cooling nuclear reactors. It was created by damming the Catawba River in 1963 and named after the president of Duke Power, Norman Cocke. Good thing they didn't name it Lake Cocke!

I love Lake Norman I would still feel the same way if it was called Lake Cocke.  It's a nice lake, stop raining on my parade  |

I am really not a water person so I agree with you there, I dont like boats either but do like looking at them very relaxing. crater lake in oregon was always wonderful to just sit and look at, to cold to swim though. |
