Lake Tillery, North Carolina hosts several fishing tournaments annually, and shoreline fishing is made convenient by a pier at the Morrow Mountain State Park. The surrounding areas are historical treasures and include a public archeological site, Town Creek Indian Mound. There is a lot to see and learn about the people native to the area. At the Reed Gold Mine, adults and children can pan for gold. Good hiking can be found in the Uwharrie National Forest along the northern border of the lake. The forest features 4,742 acres that include four low rounded mountains. Hikers can brave trails that lead to mudding trails for off-road vehicles as well.
