With many coves and inlets, Lookout Shoals Lake is a popular choice for residents of the Piedmont region and those who work in surrounding cities. Large lots allow homes to be built away from the water’s shoreline, and some developments have their own docks. The Lookout Shoals Lake has 1,300 acres that provide plenty of room for a variety of water sports, including wakeboarding and sailing. Several museums in nearby towns offer a look into the area’s rich history. Hiddenite is a unique town with an arts and heritage center well worth a tour. Those looking to cast a line can look forward to finding catfish, crappie, black bass, largemouth bass, and striped bass.
