This is a photo of the Lake Norman Dam next to the Nuclear Power plant on the south side of Lake Norman. I know it's not that pretty, but it's so mammoth in size and it's actually keeping so much water in on the other side. Lake Norman is a man-made Lake. The water just south of it flows down into South Carolina--The Catawba Valley River Chain.   Sandy Aichner, Broker/Realtor 19810-C W.
