About
Tuckertown Reservoir is a Yadkin River lake just below High Rock Lake, bordering southern Davidson County near Denton. Completed in 1962 for hydroelectric power, it is used for boating, paddling and fishing, with much of its shoreline in state game lands open for public recreation and several public boat access areas.
The reservoir touches Davidson, Stanly, Montgomery and Rowan counties, with Tuckertown Dam at its south end above Badin Lake. Alcoa operated it until selling the generating facilities to Cube Hydro Carolinas in 2017. It lies at the western edge of the Uwharrie Mountains, near Uwharrie National Forest and Morrow Mountain State Park.
