"We just love the lake" says a property owner, "It's one of the most beautiful lakes we have ever seen. It's been here almost 90 years, much of the shoreline will remain undeveloped since it's part of the Uwharrie National Forest, and what’s amazing, it's never crowded."

"We had a place at Lake Norman, but it was so crowded we were looking for something totally different," says another property owner. "Now that we have a place here, we can't believe how much we enjoy it. As close as Badin is to Charlotte, it’s amazing how few people there seem to even know about it, but we kind of like it this way, it's like our own little secret place to truly get away."
