Lake Hickory
Lake Hickory: The Waterway to the Blue Ridge.
Lake Hickory is a sparkling centerpiece of the Catawba Valley, offering endless opportunities for recreation, reflection, and natural beauty. Award-winning photographer Chad Austin captures its many moods — from sunrise mist drifting over still waters to the vibrant reflections of autumn foliage and the shimmering glow of summer sunsets. His images reveal both the peaceful solitude and the lively activity found along the lake’s shores, creating a visual portrait that celebrates Lake Hickory as a place where nature and community meet.
