Q: What do you need to know about High Rock Lake?

At full pool the lake has 15,180 acres of surface water and 365 miles of shoreline. This reservoir gets its name "High Rock Mountain," the tallest mountain in the Uwharrie Mountain Range. The 15,000 surface acre reservoir provides high quality fishing opportunities for largemouth bass, crappie, striper, bream, and catfish. The Bassmaster Classic was hosted in High Rock Lake 3 times between 1994 and 1998. Although multiple droughts in the last 20 years have changed fishing in the lake, its proximity to major cities include Winston-Salem, Greensboro and Charlotte make High Rock a frequent desintation for a large number of boaters and anglers.
