lake is so wonderful. There is a great hiking trail right next door to Reservoir Lake called the Uwharrie National Recreation Trail, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Uwharrie River.
Reservoir Lake Dam is worth visiting since you're here; some of the water close by flows, like Melchor Branch. You'll meet a lot of people from Albemarle here, and a lake nearby is Dafor Lake. Near Reservoir Lake you locate the
Uwharrie Jeep Trail which is a good hiking trail; Reservoir Lake is a pleasant spot to visit for more than one day, Whip-o-will Family Campground is a pleasant spot to camp nearby.

Cotton Patch Gold Mine
 | ...ounty, in the town of New London. This small town in North Carolina has a rich history of Gold Mining.
Cotton Patch Gold Mine began its run in the 1860's. A large vein of gold was discovered near a cotton patch off Gurley Road. They began to mine the gold, removing tons of material. The mine eventually closed, but was reopened in 1958 after a new vein was discovered.
In 1961, the mine opened for panners and rock hounds. Today the mine continues to produce gold. The gold is mixed with placer material and also found buried in white quartz.
Prospecting: Cotton Patch Gold Mine & Campground gives you several ways to find the yellow stuff! No need to be a pro... everyone can become a prospector with the right tools and our friendly staff to get you up and running. Try your hand at washed placer gravel or crushed gold bearing vein rock mined from the Cotton Patch property. Pan by the bucket, by the tractor load or by the day. Bring your own pans, sluices and supplies or rent ours Cotton Patch Gold Mine is now an Official GPAA (Gold Prospectors Asssociation of... |
Falls Reservoir
 | Outstanding scenery! Like a storybook setting , although last time I went , it was close to 100 degrees....It is a very great lake for fishing. There is absolutly no recreation(jet-skiers, water skiers). You must be careful, there are many unmarked water hazards (most are near the upper dam). I wouldn't take an expensive boat on the lake....The perfect place to find yourself lost among nature and forget all of your ''big'' city problems without a 3 day hike into the woods....Falls Reservoir is a hidden jewel. Located between two dams. No development whatsoever.... |
Uwharrie National Recreation Trail

Uwharrie River
 | 12 miles away ...r was way high flowing over the bridge at Low River bridge on SR 1301, our putin point. With the water that high the current was swift with a lot of low lying trees dwarfing the banks. We no sooner put in and the second canoe got caught in the current and capsized. We in the third were unable to upright it before it became lodged between two trees with the current making it impossible to free it. We were able to recover the two boys and rejoin with the first canoe which had continued on downstream. Long and short of our adventure we all made it to Morrow Mtn State Park in about 5 hours time in two canoes (11:30 AM - 4:30 PM). We stayed to the center of the river as much as possible and negotiated the rapids without mishap. It was very unpredictable with alot of unsuspecting trees in the middle of the river (sumerged islands). We then returned to Low River Bridge to recover the lost canoe. The water was now some four to five feet lower clearing the bridge. With much of the pressure of the current on the canoe now gone we were able to free it and get it out of the river. With all the e... |
