Lake
Tillery
Lake Tillery is located in the southern part of the
Piedmont Triad area, about one hour east of Charlotte,
North Carolina. When you look at a geographic map of
North Carolina, Lake Tillery is almost right smack in
the middle of the state, making it close to not only
Charlotte but also Greensboro and Asheboro. Serving as
the divider line between Stanly County and Montgomery
County, Lake Tillery is located right beside both the Morrow
Mountain State Park and the Uwharrie National Forest.
Lake Tillery is approximately 5,000 acres and has about
104 miles of shore line. The serene and relaxing spirit
of the lake has managed to survive due to the management
of the lake by Progress Energy, for hydroelectric
production. Progress Energy restricts waterfront
development, therefore maintaining a tranquil and serene
lake atmosphere.
Economy
The economies in Stanly County and the areas surrounding Lake Tillery
continue to grow. Due to the location of Lake Tillery to
Charlotte, Greensboro and other piedmont areas it is
likely that the economy around Lake Tillery and the
surrounding areas, will continue to
grow rapidly.
Schools
The schools in the Lake Tillery area are part of the
Stanly County school district. They have excellent
teacher/student ratios and are committed to providing
the best education for their students.
Hospitals

Memorial Hospital.
Activities
Since Lake Tillery is surrounded by the Uwharrie Mountains
on one side and Morrow Mountain State Park on the other,
there are a great deal of recreation opportunities on
the lake. Residents and visitors can enjoy a day of
hiking and exploring the areas around the lake. Lake
Tillery
has also served as a haven for anglers and fishermen
from all over. Most fishermen prefer Lake Tillery to
most of the area’s other fishing spots because of the
calm and quiet waters and atmosphere of the lake.
Boating and water sports are also popular pastimes.
The Lake Tillery area is also popular for golf. Piney Point Golf
Course, in Stanly County, and Tillery Traditions Golf
Course, in Montgomery County are two highly ranked golf
courses that are within a short driving distance from
the lake. Also a little bit further away is the Tom
Fazio designed Old North State Club of Uwharrie Point on
Badin Lake, which is the number two ranked course in
North Carolina. And let’s not forget that one of the top
spots for golf in the world, Pinehurst, is only about a
thirty minute drive away and features over thirty
championship golf courses.
The Lake Tillery area is very much a rural community,
but due to its beautiful surroundings and location near
larger areas, it is the perfect blending of both worlds.
If you are searching for tranquility and a little bit of
peace, then Lake Tillery is the place for you!
