Lake Facts:
In 1941 Duke power company flooded the town Aquone and displaced the cemetaries, homes, and businesses. Aquone now lies underneath the waters of Natahala Lake. The lake is located near Andrews, NC and is 3,100 feet above sea level. The lake is drained for use by the Duke power company and the water used to create power is then sent downriver for white water rafting. The lake is used for recreational activities such as boating, swimming, and jetskiing.
There is a lot of room to swim and the lake is great for boating. The people around there are friendly and the lake is in a great area. I like to dive down as deep as I can and swim around down there. The water can be FREEZING in late fall and winter, even for avid swimmers like us. There are also awesome mountain veiws at the lake.
