It is contained by Narrows Dam at the town of Badin, North Carolina. Sitting within a valley, the lake is very deep, with a maximum depth of 190 ft (58 m). The lake occupies 5350acre and has 115 mi (185km) of shoreline. It's waters have an average summer temperature of 84.4 °F (29.1 °C) and an average winter temperature of 50.6 °F (10.3 °C).

Much of the lake's eastern shoreline lies within the Uwharrie National Forest.[1]
