Welcome to the Lake Norman region

Greetings!

On behalf of the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce and our approximately 1000+ active business members, it is a pleasure to welcome you to the Lake Norman region. Nestled on the banks of beautiful Lake Norman, our lake towns offer the perfect opportunity for both visitors and newcomers to enjoy the lake-living lifestyle of Cornelius and Mooresville, the small-town college charm of Davidson, and the vitality of Huntersville with its abundant shopping and recreational facilities.

Lake Norman, located just outside of Charlotte, provides visitors and W.E. “BILL” RUSSELL, CCE PRESIDENT newcomers with a window to the past and LAKE NORMAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE an eye to the future. The lake is home to the land where the Catawba Indians once walked and the early European settlers made their stand. Today, it is home to vibrant business parks and retail centers.

New neighborhoods have emerged and families have relocated to the region, making Lake Norman one of the fastestgrowing regions in the country.

Our proximity to the cultural opportunities of Charlotte, mixed with the charm and lake-living lifestyle of

30 Things You Have to Do at Lake Norman

Live Like a Native

BY LORI K. TATE

Kids and Teens

1. Play lacrosse with one of

the many lacrosse teams and organizations in the area.

2. Learn to sail at NC Community Sailing & Rowing in Huntersville.

3. Go to summer camp at the Lake Norman YMCA. 4. Enjoy the music, rides and food at the Denver Days Fall Festival in late September.

5. Go see a show

by Davidson Community Players’ Connie Company.

Better yet, audition for one.

6. Take a carriage ride at Christmas in Davidson.

7. If you’re under 8 years old, check out Discovery Place KIDS in Huntersville.

Even 6-month-olds can find something to do here — really!

8. Ride a horse at Latta Equestrian Center in Huntersville.

9. Join a soccer team through Carolina Rapids Soccer Club.

10. Take an art class at The Community Arts Project in Cornelius.

Adults

1. Join one of the Rotary clubs in

the area. All of them work hard to make the Lake Norman area (and the world) a better place.

2. Know your exits: Exit 23 and 25 take care of Huntersville. Exit 28 is all about Cornelius. Exit 30 is Davidson, while Exit 31, 32, 33 and 36 service Mooresville.

And finally, Exit 42 lands you in Troutman.

2014-15

3. Learn how to shag. The Lake

Norman Shag Club was organized in 1983 and is always looking for new members.

4. Go paddle boarding or run one of the many 5Ks throughout the year in the area.

5. Buy a cup of coffee at Summit in downtown Davidson. Be sure to answer the daily trivia question correctly for a discount.

6. Walk your dog through Jetton Park in Cornelius on a regular basis.

7. Sign up for one of the boot camps in the area. You’ll get in shape and make friends at the same time.

9. See an award-winning art house film through Indies + Docs at the Cornelius Arts Center.

10. Take a Hands-On Cooking class with a friend through Wooden Stone Gallery and the Town of Davidson.

4. Mentor someone younger in the

community. We could all use a little guidance.

5. Take your teenage grandkid shopping at Birkdale Village.

Suggest going to American Eagle, and you’ll be cool in their book for a long time.

6. Take a trip with the Davidson Parks and Recreation department.

7. Tour the NASCAR shops in Mooresville.

8. Splash around in a water exercise class at the South Iredell Senior Center.

9. Learn to play Pickleball. It’s the hot ticket in town. The Lake Norman Y is a great place to learn how to play.

10. Volunteer for a nonprofit — think Ada Jenkins, the Mooresville Soup Kitchen, Angels & Sparrows in Huntersville, etc.

Seniors

1. Take a class with Senior

Scholars through the Town of Davidson.

2. Join the YMCA (there are three locations in the Lake Norman area) for fitness, friends and fun.

There are plenty of senior classes.

The company now offers shows throughout the year, as it has a permanent home at the cozy Armour Street Theatre in Davidson. During the summer, the company performs a spectacular musical at the Duke Family Performance Hall at Davidson College. Past favorite productions include Ragtime, Hello Dolly! and The Music Man. This summer 42nd Street is on the slate, as well as Paul Slade Smith’s Unnecessary Farce.

The Warehouse Performing Arts Center in Cornelius is another theatre venue in the Lake Norman area. Offering cuttingedge productions and concerts in addition to writing workshops, this is the place for culture vultures.

Davidson College also produces top-notch theatrical productions throughout the year. In addition, the college offers the C. Shaw and Nancy K. Smith Artist Series, which brings in performances by visiting musicians, choral groups, dance troupes and theatrical companies.

Music at Davidson College includes the Davidson College Concert Series, along with performances by The Davidson College Concert Choir, The Davidson College Chorale, The Davidson College Jazz Ensemble and The Davidson College Symphony Orchestra. Faculty performances also pepper the calendar.

Lake Norman is Not Just a Lake More than 50 years ago the creation of Lake Norman changed the area forever

BY LORI K. TATE

The other day I told my friend that Lake Norman turned 50 last year. My friend, who does not live in the Lake Norman area, looked at me as if I were mad and proceeded to ask how a lake could have a birthday. Immediately I explained how Lake Norman was indeed a manmade body of water, a fact many people, even ones who live here, don’t realize.

Lake Norman remains a peaceful respite for an extraordinary community of people. in the works long before then. In the early 1900s, James B. Duke, William S. Lee and Dr. W. Gil Wylie envisioned how a series of dams on the Catawba River could literally power the South’s future, in particular the Carolina Piedmont’s future.

Cowans Ford Dam was built by Duke Power (now Duke Energy) on a historic Revolutionary War battle site.

Ground was broken on the project on September 28, 1959. Four years later the dam was complete with a length of 7,387 feet, which includes more than a mile of earthen dam. The concrete portion alone is 1,279 feet long and 130 feet high. Bill Lee, the grandson of William S. Lee and the chairman of Duke Power Company at the time, led this engineering feat.

While the complexity of the project seemed at times staggering, not to

mention the emotional impact on the community as two river crossings (Sherrill’s Ford and Beatty’s Ford) would be flooded in addition to many original homesites, Lake Norman was the result of a dream (60 years in the making) come true.

Often referred to as “The Inland Sea,” Lake Norman offers 520 miles of shoreline (more than North and South Carolina’s coasts combined) and is named for Norman Atwater Cocke, a retired Duke Power president. For years, Lake Norman was a weekend getaway destination, as people in the Piedmont would flock to cabins along its shores to get away from every day life. In 1964 Duke Power offered more than 2,600 cottage sites with leases starting at $120 a year. Eventually subdivisions were established, and folks began to live on Lake Norman’s shores full time.

Though people started realizing how beautiful and satisfying lake living was, heavy development didn’t take off until the 1990s, as the Charlotte area’s thriving business environment brought more people to the area. While Lake Norman has more than lived up to its power-producing expectations, it has also transformed what was once a heavily agricultural and textile community into more of a resort area that attracts a variety of people from around the world.

On the north end of the lake, you’ll still find many agricultural pockets untouched by development.

If you hit it on the right day, you might even discover a cow or two soaking off the shores of Catawba County. The southern part of the lake attracts many people who make their living in nearby Charlotte. When traffic flows, you can travel from your office in Uptown Charlotte to Lake Norman in approximately 30 minutes. Not many urban areas offer a lakeside respite so quickly.

As power continues to flow from

Lake Norman, so do its memories.

Ask around and you’re likely to find someone who was around when the lake filled. They’ll remember the Robert E. Lee, the first tour boat on the lake; the 85-pound catfish that won the state record; Outrigger Harbor, the original marina that stood where The Peninsula Yacht Club is today; and how Hurricane Hugo ravaged Lake Norman’s shores in 1989.

Fifty-one years after its creation, Lake Norman remains a peaceful respite for an extraordinary community of people.

Faith

Home Sweet Spiritual Home There’s a place for everyone at Lake Norman

BY REVEREND JAN BRITTAIN

I grew up saying this little rhyme: Here is the church Here is the steeple Open the door The Church is the People.

Actually, the last line I grew up saying was something like “and see all the people,” but I like the one above much better. You see, it declares a basic truth. No matter what faith community you choose, the important part of it is the people.

But that’s true of all communities.

It’s the people that make the Lake Norman area so special. Oh, we do REVEREND JAN BRITTAIN have a beautiful lake nearby; that’s IS THE SENIOR PASTOR AT for sure. And you can reach the WILLIAMSON’S CHAPEL mountains or the beach in just half a UNITED METHODIST day or less; that’s an added benefit. In CHURCH IN MOORESVILLE. less than an hour, you can enjoy the benefits of country or city. In other words, you can get to it or get away from it — your choice.

But what really makes this area so special, and what will make you happy you’ve landed here, is the people. So, first and foremost, make the effort to get out and meet your neighbors. Go to some community functions, sit out on your porch with goodies for the kids when Halloween rolls around, show up at the many festivals and fundraisers for this or that good cause. Share a little time and a little conversation and you will soon discover our very best resource — our people.

Quite a few of those people have found a home in one of our many faith communities, a place to worship, grow and serve.

You can learn about many of those faith communities on the web these days. And of course, you can check them out the old fashioned way, just “open the door” as the little rhyme says. We have a grand diversity of traditions, sizes and styles of worship to choose from here in the Lake Norman area. The important thing is to find a faith community that is the right fit for you and your family.

To do that, you’ll need to ask two questions when you visit.

First, will this faith community meet the needs of my family and me? Almost everyone asks that question. Even more important is the second question. Will this faith community enable me and my family to better serve God and help meet the needs of others?

Choose your faith community that way and you will have yet another reason to be happy you get to call Lake Norman home.

One of the first sights you’ll likely encounter as you approach the lake’s southeastern edge is the 430-foot extrusion tower for the ABB Inc. highvoltage transmission cable manufacturing facility in Huntersville.

Sure, the 32,500acre lake known as North Carolina’s “inland ocean” is a mecca for aquatic recreation, but nestled along its shores are global industry leaders and business leaders who anchor a vibrant and exciting community. If you are the type who dreams about taking your boat to the office, Lake Norman has an office location for you.

North Harbor Place in Davidson Landing and Waterstreet Seaport in Cornelius offer opportunities to secure a slip and establish an office in boater friendly, multi-use complexes.

So, if you’re thinking about establishing or relocating a business in the Carolinas, why not set sail at Lake Norman? The area offers

both traditional and geographically unique opportunities to open a business office. If you can see beyond the blue waters that color the region, you’ll find an economic climate primed and ready for your business and a consumer base eager to see you succeed.

Here’s one more tip to help keep you sailing with the wind. Begin your planning either at the Lake Norman Chamber of Commerce, the 1,150-member organization offering business growth and development, advocacy, and networking services or the Lake Norman Regional Economic Development Corporation, a strategic planning resource that encompasses 60 corporate and individual investors.

The Scoop The LKN Chamber is west of I-77 at Exit 28 in Cornelius, and the EDC is located in Huntersville west of Exit 23.

Where to Shop There was a time when you had to venture into Charlotte for anything fashion related. That time has long passed with the proliferation of various shopping districts throughout the Lake Norman area. Now you no longer have to sweat the I-77 traffic for a pair of Tory Burch flip-flops or a Lilly Pulitzer dress. It’s all right here. You just have to know where to look.

We’ll begin at Exit 18, where you’ll find Northlake Mall, filled with every chain you could want from Macy’s to Anthropologie to Ann Taylor to Belk. Surrounding the mall is a selection of big boxes, including one of Mecklenburg County’s two REIs. If you can’t find what you need at this exit, you might want to rethink what you need.

Exit 25 brings you to Huntersville, where you’ll find Lowe’s, Target and Kohl’s, along with Birkdale Village, a mixed-use shopping center that serves as the unofficial town square. With a nice mix of fun local shops (Molly Malone’s and Poppies) and chains (think Banana Republic, Gap and Talbots), Birkdale offers a pleasant shopping experience even for those who don’t enjoy shopping. Stop by on Friday or Saturday evenings during the summer for the Mingling on the Green Concert Series, where you can enjoy a variety of live music at the center fountain.

Three miles north at Exit 28 is Cornelius, which is peppered with quaint shops up and down Catawba Avenue. Keep your eyes open for home interior shops that offer one-of-a-kind accessories to make your nest even cozier.

Davidson, Exit 30, offers a Norman Rockwell take on downtown shopping, complete with a bookstore and a Ben & Jerry’s. Be sure to stop by the Davidson College Store on Main Street for all your Davidson College gear. It’s always a great day to be a Wildcat.

Langtree at the Lake is the newest retail spot in the area.

Located at Exit 31, the mixed-use shopping center offers a burgeoning mix of boutiques and restaurants. This area is just getting started, so look for more great things to come.

Downtown Mooresville (Exits 32, 33 and 36) also offers an old-fashioned shopping experience with a true hardware store, a cozy gallery and a variety of shops. West of I-77 in Mooresville, you’ll find any big box store you need, including Best Buy, Michael’s, Old Navy, Super Target, Staples and more.

Throughout the Lake Norman area there are plenty of mom and pop shops eager to please with personalized customer service and an inventory of specialized items.

During recent years various campaigns have encouraged residents to shop local whenever possible. So the next time you find yourself looking for that perfect gift or pick-me-up, remember to shop local.

memorable regional specialties.

In additional to longstanding fish camps that were the norm when the lake was a weekend getaway, diners can now find the cuisine of many cultures. Menus featuring Mexican, Latin American, Caribbean, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Italian, Greek, Irish and Indian join all manner of American cuisine.

The waters of the lake inspire relaxing and fun-filled times, and that mood carries over into many restaurants. More often than not, diners are casually dressed, children’s favorites are offered and prices are affordable. Many places also have outdoor seating, so you can enjoy your meal and the fresh air when the weather is favorable.

Following a national trend, more and more chefs in the area are building relationships with local farmers and visiting farmer’s markets to secure fresh, in-season ingredients for their menus. Diners can taste the difference.

Cheeses for appetizers, greens for salads, seafood and poultry for entrees, vegetables for side dishes, and fruits for cobblers are just a sampling of what can be found. These restaurants take pride in not only serving the freshest A Product of Lake Norman CURRENTS Magazine

A walk through pedestrian friendly Birkdale Village in Huntersville will tempt your taste buds with a smorgasbord of dining options. You’ll feel like you’ve hit the jackpot with casual restaurants offering Asian fusion, wood-fired pizzas, Mexican street fare, upscale burgers and traditional American favorites, and an upscale restaurant specializing in steaks and seafood.

Ready to dress up a bit for dinner?

Fine dining options around the lake are limited, but those that do set a dressed-up table with white tablecloths and candles offer stellar menus that are worth the care you took with your attire. Whether tucked in a shopping center or occupying a restored downtown building, you can expect the atmosphere to be cozy and intimate, the service to be efficient, and the food to be well prepared without being fussy.

North Carolina is noted for its barbecue, and the lake area is home to several ‘cue joints that have legendary followings.

A day of water-skiing or just cruising the waters of the lake can leave one hungry, and fortunately, there are nearly a dozen restaurants just steps away from the shoreline. Ease those hunger pains with menus offering everything from oysters and ribs to Italian and contemporary fare. Most are ultra casual with a laid-back atmosphere where live music fills the air. There’s no better way to end the day than by grabbing a seat at a table on the deck and enjoying a fantastic sunset with a burger and cold beverage.

Location, location, location In addition to its amazing vistas, its friendly locals and, of course, its fabulous water activities, one of Lake Norman’s best features is its close proximity to attractions throughout the Carolinas. Mountain, beach and shopping destinations abound in North and South Carolina — all are well within driving distance of Lake Norman.

And although no Lake Norman resident worth their salt is just itching to leave their lakeside haven, everyone can use a change of (even the best) scenery every once in a while. Whether you want a quick jaunt a couple of hours up the Blue Ridge Parkway or a leave-your-cares-behind retreat to one of the many beaches along the Carolina coast, Lake Norman is perfectly positioned as a home base for all manner of Carolina adventures.

Asheville

Drive Time: 2.5 hours

Asheville is western North Carolina’s largest city and serves as the business, cultural, shopping and dining hub of the mountains. Asheville is known across the world for being a mountain gem. The arts are alive and very well in Asheville. The city is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge and is known for its natural beauty. The Blue Ridge Parkway, which brushes Asheville, is a favorite of motorists each October when the trees begin to turn. The historic Biltmore Estate sits on the city’s outskirts and is a favorite destination for those who love spring flowers and beautiful holiday decor.

Boone

Drive Time: 2 hours

Boone is another North Carolina mountain destination Lake Norman residents can easily reach for a fun day trip or long weekend. Some of the Blue Ridge’s highest peaks are located in the Boone area. It’s another favorite for those interested in viewing the beautiful fall foliage. Many bed and breakfasts also beckon visitors year round. The city is home to Appalachian State University. And come the holidays, dozens of Christmas tree farms open for business, so families can pick out the perfect tree and make lifelong memories in the process.

Few destinations anywhere are as splendid as Charleston, South Carolina.

Make one trip to this charming Southern city and you’re sure to be back.

Charleston is located on the coast and is considered by many to be the South’s cultural capital. Dining in Charleston is world class, and the city’s dozens of restaurants offer Lowcountry menus that simply can’t be beat.

Taking a walk in downtown Charleston is like taking a walk back in time.

Beautiful gardens sit wedged between historic pastel homes — many of which were built before the Civil War (which started in nearby Fort Sumter).

Beachgoers are also at home in Charleston. Folly Beach, Isle of Palms and Kiawah Island offer a variety of fun for those wanting to hit the sand.

We are a town of history, but we are also a community of progress. A long-time resident has told me that, “Huntersville always poised itself for progress,” and I believe that is the secret to our successes. We have had visionaries amongst us, who saw the richness in our landscape, the proximity to Charlotte, to the mountains, to the beaches. And those visionaries, those involved, caring citizens made the personal investment to plan for our future.

We’ve worked hard on a zoning ordinance that creates community and preserves rural vistas. We have concentrated on higher density areas close to transportation nodes, we have tried to maintain the areas that hold historical significance, and promote parks and recreation for our citizens.

While it is easy for our residents to get to a highway, it is just as easy to find a greenway or a road or trail that takes us far away from the noises of civilization.

Like so many others, I am not originally from Mooresville. Born and raised in Tampa, I found my way to the Carolinas in 1989 after relocating to accept a new job. Lake Norman lured my wife, Kim, and me away from Charlotte eight years later, settling in Mooresville to start our family.

Living on the lake was like being on vacation, and the lake provided a relaxing backdrop to our lives. A few years later we were drawn to Mooresville’s historic Downtown where we moved into a 1909 Queen Ann Victorian home.

The sense of community and being a part of it made us feel like we belonged. We gained a great appreciation for the town’s history and feel blessed to be stewards of one of its historical assets. It didn’t take us long to get involved, following our passion to actively engage and give back to the community.

As the town has grown we grew with it and have witnessed a sleepy little mill town become a vibrant and thriving community. I meet people every day who tell me how much they love it here.

FILLED WITH LIVE MUSIC, RIDES AND FOOD, DENVER DAYS IS A FALL TRADITION ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE LAKE.

Denver Life on the west side

BY LEE MCCRACKEN

Great Lake Living at Lake Norman

Life on the west side of Lake Norman means beautiful views, great schools and lower Lincoln County taxes. Denver residents are warm and friendly, and the area exudes a small-town neighborly feel.

Whether driving west from Huntersville, Cornelius or Mooresville, it’s okay to loosen that grip on the steering wheel and ease up on the accelerator. Things are calmer and slower in Denver, with many remnants of the “good ol’ days” still around, including cow pastures, plantation barns and the historic Martha’s Chapel along Killian Farm Road. The picturesque western shoreline stretches from Cowan’s Ford Dam at the south to the neighborhood of Sailview at the north. Westport Marina offers fun on the lake with boats and jet skis for rent.

Denver is home to many talented artists, as well as some mom-and-pop boutiques and shops. The farmers market on Saturday mornings during the spring and summer features fresh local produce and plants, and, of course, Black’s Produce and The Peach Stand delight the community with the season’s flavors. Stop in at the local community library, where the staff knows everyone’s name and the last book they checked out.

While Denver doesn’t have a downtown or central gathering area, people find their “center” in the neighborhoods where they live, and the churches and organizations to which they belong. In August, churches gather for a week of fun and fellowship at the Rock Spring Camp Meeting, which dates back to the late 1700s. And Denver Days in September beckons everyone with live music and amusement rides.

In the communities of Cowan’s Ford, Westport and Verdict Ridge, there’s wonderful golf, tennis and swimming.

Schools are smaller in Lincoln County, and many families find camaraderie rallying to support the East Lincoln High Mustangs and the North Lincoln High Knights. Lincoln County Charter School (K-12) is burgeoning, too, with new buildings and some 400 students enrolled in its high school.

Privately owned eateries are a tradition in Denver, even though some chains have been moving in. Everest Grill and Sports Page restaurants are popular places year round for all ages, as are Stacey’s Restaurant (especially for breakfast) and Chillfire Bar & Grill. New development brings shopping options and decent prices to the west side of the lake — from ALDI, Lowe’s and Super Wal-Mart to the cheapest gasoline in the area.

The completion of N.C. 16 to four lanes makes the 30-minute commute to uptown Charlotte a breeze, instead of sitting in the traffic on I-77.

While not situated at the base of the Rocky Mountains, this Denver is a wonderful place to call home.

DOWNTOWN CORNELIUS IS ENJOYING A RENAISSANCE WITH ITS VARIETY OF SHOPS AND REGULAR ART CRAWLS.

Cornelius The simple things

Great Lake Living at Lake Norman

What makes a place truly special to someone? In a region that includes the beauty and expanse of Lake Norman, Cornelius is part of a wonderful collection of towns that evoke the feelings of “apple pie and baseball” to those lucky enough to live here. It’s the small things in life that usually have the most significant impact on all of us. Here are a few of my simple favorites.

Cornelius has more than 75 miles of shoreline, the most of any town in the state, with countless water sports and activities, yet one of my favorite things to do is to watch the sunset while sitting on a pier or floating in a boat with my family and friends. My wife often takes sunset pictures and sends them to me when I am traveling. She also sends them to our grown children who now live away from home.

Cornelius has more than 75 miles of shoreline, the most of any town in the state.

Our town still celebrates Memorial Day and Veterans Day with residents gathering at Town Hall to share in ceremonies led by our local Veterans, complete with the display of American flags draping from the extended ladders of our fire trucks, patriotic songs from local high school and church groups, and speeches commemorating the importance of the day concluded by a 21-gun salute. So simple, yet so moving that participants often have tears in their eyes when they hear Taps.

The annual North Mecklenburg Christmas Parade includes floats, bands, cars, tractors — you name it— from organizations across region.

My children have ridden and walked in the parade through the years.

As an elected official, I have been honored to be included recently, even throwing out candy a time or two to spectators along the route.

Sporty

Standouts High school and youth sports dominate the Lake Norman area

BY MIKE SAVICKI 2014-15

A Product of Lake Norman CURRENTS Magazine

Judging by the large number of conference and state championship banners that hang from gymnasium rafters at the high schools surrounding Lake Norman, it’s safe to say that student athletes are a strong breed. They tell the story of hundreds of individual and team victories dating back generations, and they set the bar high for the future generations of sporty standouts who sport the colors of the Vikings, Titans, Huskies and Panthers, not to mention Eagles and Patriots.

Last year marked the 100th year of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s existence, and no area school has topped the standings for the prestigious Wells Fargo Cup more than North Mecklenburg High School. The Vikings have won the NCHSAA’s award given annually to the North Carolina high schools with the best overall interscholastic sports programs in each of four conference classifications close to 20 times. Offering 19 sports for boys and girls, the Vikings have a tradition of athletic excellence that dates to the 1950s.

In the fall of 2001, Hopewell High School opened its doors to help alleviate the needs of a growing community in northern Mecklenburg County. Titan athletic excellence quickly followed suit. Hopewell now offers 21 individual and team sports for its students, including the increasingly popular boy’s and girl’s club-level lacrosse teams.

Basketball has led the way for the Titans. The 2007–2008 Hopewell boys basketball team captured the first ever conference championship in school history, and several recent standouts now start for a handful of nationally ranked NCAA Division 1 college basketball programs. Davidson College’s men’s basketball forward and Hopewell alum, De’Mon Brooks, was named Associated Press 2012 All-America Honorable Mention, was voted the Southern Conference Player of the Year by the league’s coaches and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the SoCon Tournament in leading Davidson to its 11th tournament title and NCAA appearance.

The Harvard Crimson qualified for their first NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament since 1946 thanks to the standout play of junior guard and Hopewell alum, Brandyn Curry.

William A. Hough High School opened in 2010, and in Hough’s first full athletic year, the Huskies captured three I-Meck conference championships and have recently added an additional six titles to their collection. The boys and girls Huskies have also won 4A State Champions in Swimming and Diving, and their prowess in the pool is second to none.

Dozens of Husky student-athletes fill the rosters of numerous I-Meck Conference All-Conference rosters, and many graduates now compete on NCAA scholarships.

Athletic excellence isn’t just confined to the area’s public high schools.

SouthLake Christian Academy, Davidson Day and Lake Norman Christian are among the private schools with outstanding athletic programs. The SouthLake Eagles are wrestling state champs; Davidson Day’s Upper School football program has two state championships, and its former quarterback, Will Grier, was Parade Magazine’s player of the year in 2014.

Lake Norman Christian fields strong teams in more than a handful of sports for boys and girls.

Youth sports also have a tradition of excellence around the lake, and as the area’s population grows, the variety of sporting programs available to youth increases, as well. A few standout programs lead the way.

The future for youth sports looks bright with new facilities and programs in the works.

FOOTBALL IS POPULAR AT MOORESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE THE TEAM PLAYS ON STATE-OF-THE-ART ARTIFICIAL TURF AT COACH JOE POPP STADIUM The Huntersville Family Fitness & Aquatics Center is the home of the nationally recognized Carolina Diving Academy. Since 2007, CDA has offered a cohesive program from entry-level lessons to national championship

finalists. Most recently, five of the six diving state champions at the 2012 N.C. High School Athletic Association meet were CDA competitors.

Soccer rivals basketball as a top junior sport around the lake, and programs like Carolina Rapids and the Lake Norman Soccer Club offer recreational and competitive programs for boys and girls U9 – U19. A strong work ethic, along with dedicated coaching has helped Carolina Rapids accumulate an impressive list of accomplishments.

If it’s lacrosse you want then check out Lake Norman United, an allvolunteer, non-profit organization founded in 2008 dedicated to promoting lacrosse in the Lake Norman area and throughout the Carolinas.

Stewards of the Game is a Christian faith-based sports organization providing baseball, basketball, softball and volleyball for children through teenagers. Stewards teaches

Sound Advice During Uncertain Times

athletic and life lessons as well as age-appropriate fundamentals, sportsmanship and competition.

It thrives on the belief that lessons through sports can have a powerful, positive and everlasting impact on the lives of area boys and girls.

The future for youth sports looks bright, too, with new facilities and programs in the works. The Towns of Cornelius and Huntersville have recently dedicated athletic parks for public use, and the recreation departments of Huntersville, Cornelius and Davidson offer full schedules of recreational and instructional sports for athletes of almost all ages and abilities.

So with energized youth programs feeding high school athletic programs in dozens of fall, winter and spring sports, look for more banners to be raised in the seasons to come and more sporty standouts to emerge carrying trophies high above their heads.

AT THE LAKE NORMAN YMCA IN CORNELIUS, YOU CAN LEARN TO SAIL, WATER SKI, CANOE OR KAYAK.

Boating is Just the Beginning Residents have access to plentiful, year-round activities

BY RENEE ROBERSON

Driving over Lake Norman on I-77 on a clear and sunny day, it’s difficult not to turn your attention toward the boats drifting across the water.

But while boating is a popular and fun pastime in the area, it’s only one of many recreational activities the residents here enjoy. Here’s a look

66

Great Lake Living at Lake Norman

at what adventures await you, rain or shine, cold or warm weather.

If you want to spend time outdoors, Lake Norman is fortunate to have a great public park system, countless trails for biking and hiking, and parks with plenty of recreational fields and playground equipment. In Cornelius, Ramsey Creek Park is a 43-acre waterfront park with boat-launching areas, docks and a fishing pier. There are also three picnic shelters, horseshoe pits, a volleyball court, a three-acre dog park, playground and nature trails.

Visitors can rent large “funbrellas” to utilize on the large, waterfront picnic area, and there is also a slice of beach perfect for lounging (no swimming allowed, though).

Another popular destination for those who love to spend time outdoors is Jetton Park in Cornelius.

The 105-acre park has a beach area, wooden gazebos, a formal garden and a playground. There are also eight tennis courts, and paved walking and biking trails, most of which wind through nicely shaded wooded areas. For a small fee, visitors can rent waterside picnic decks equipped with a grill and a table.

In Troutman, there’s Lake Norman State Park, an ideal place to enjoy the area’s natural beauty and go running or mountain biking. The 1,328-acre park includes 13 miles of shoreline along the northeastern shore of Lake Norman. There is a 125-yard beach and public swimming area, which is supervised by lifeguards seasonally, as well as a concession stand, showers, restrooms and changing stalls.

In Davidson, walkers and cyclists enjoy the natural beauty of Fisher Farm Park, located on 200 acres of woods off Shearer Road. It features four miles of biking trails with enough terrain for different skill levels. There’s also a 2.5-mile walking trail on site.

In Huntersville, visit the Latta Plantation Center and Nature

Preserve, situated on more than 1,000 acres on Mountain Island Lake.

There, you’ll find an equestrian center, hiking trails, and the Carolina Raptor Center, where visitors can observe more than 25 species of raptors living along a Raptor Trail with a self-guided tour.

Also in Huntersville, Blythe Landing offers 26 acres of fun with floating piers and boat ramps, the Dockside Café, a beach and playground, picnic areas, and sand volleyball courts.

Blythe Landing is also home to NC Community Sailing & Rowing, which offers a variety of sailing and rowing programs for all ages.

In addition to the 520 miles of lake shoreline, there are also stateof-the-art fitness centers that offer amenities for every member of the family, as well as swimming, canoeing and kayaking lessons, all of which provide plenty of things to do during the colder winter months.

One great place for families to get fit is Huntersville Family Fitness & Aquatics. The 88,000-squarefoot facility is home to a 25-yard warm water pool and outdoor

Recreational opportunities abound in the Lake Norman area. family fun pool. It also holds the distinction of being the only public facility in the Southeast with an Olympic-size, 50-meter competition pool and 10-meter dive tower. It often hosts aquatic events with up to 2,000 spectators for regional, national, world-class swim and dive competitions. In addition, there’s a full-court gymnasium and a complete fitness center with cardiovascular training equipment such as treadmills, elliptical trainers, and stationary bicycles and group exercise classes.

The Lake Norman YMCA in Cornelius is equally as popular, as you can learn to sail, water ski, canoe or kayak at this branch. In addition, you can enjoy a beachfront picnic after a rousing game of outdoor volleyball. As for indoor activities, enjoy Pilates and yoga in the branch’s waterview studio, dedicated to mind and body programs.

Indoor/outdoor pools, along with

an excellent fitness staff, round out the branch’s offerings.

The Lowe’s YMCA in Mooresville is a great place for people of all ages to have fun, exercise and get to know others in the community. The 57,000-square-foot facility is packed with the latest cardiovascular and strength-training equipment, an indoor water park, lap swim pool, group exercise studios, indoor and outdoor walking tracks, a full gymnasium, and more. There’s also special health and fitness training programs, summer day camps, youth and adult sports, and even an adventure club, where members get together and go hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, snow skiing and rafting.

Add to all of this that a more than 50,000-square-foot aquatic center is in the works at Langtree at the Lake in Mooresville, and it’s obvious that residents in the Lake Norman area don’t like to sit still.

Sports Sports are never far away from Lake Norman. Sure, there’s golfing, swimming, fishing and boating right at your door step, but if you want to catch NFL football, NASCAR, the NBA, as well as exciting college and minor league sports in person, you don’t have to travel far to see the action. It’s no secret that the lake provides residents with the chance to catch the best competition in the game.

Carolina Panthers www.panthers.com

Charlotte locals might remember a time when catching an NFL football game in person meant taking a road trip to either Atlanta or Washington, DC. But when the Carolina Panthers joined the league in 1995, and moved into their newly constructed home at Bank of America Stadium, those other cities and their teams became nothing more than chief rivals, while our hometown team began building its identity and fans began traditions of their own.

Now the games are electric, and the stadium pounds with excitement. Want to catch Cam Newton, one of the league’s most electrifying and exciting playmakers lead the team through the Red Zone? Grab a single game or season ticket or get on your feet at one of the dozens of bars and restaurants surrounding the stadium.

NASCAR plays a significant role in the local economy.

In addition to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, many high-profile NASCAR teams are headquartered in state-of-the-art production shops located in Huntersville, Cornelius and Mooresville, while others aren’t far away.

Scores of drivers live on the shores of Lake Norman, and it’s not uncommon to see them boating on the water or out at local restaurants and shops when they aren’t chasing the checkered flag. Thousands of crew members, NASCAR support personnel and supporting business owners also live and play around Lake Norman, too.

When it comes time to race, Lake Norman residents can make a 20-minute drive to Charlotte Motor Speedway to see their favorite teams and drivers in action. The track hosts major NASCAR races in May and October, and smaller races and events almost every other week of the year.

Charlotte Bobcats (soon to be Hornets) www.charlottebobcats.com

Charlotte Checkers www.gocheckers.com

Even though we’re in the South, pucks fly in ice rinks across the Carolinas. The Charlotte Checkers are the region’s minor league hockey team and serve as the American Hockey League affiliate for the Raleigh-based Carolina Hurricanes of the NHL. While the Hurricanes are relatively new to the state, the Checkers’ name has been associated with Charlotte hockey teams since the 1950s. Today’s team plays its home games from October to April at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte where the action is more fast and furious than ever before.

Charlotte Knights

www.charlotteknights.com

If you’re in the mood to see tomorrow’s Major League Baseball stars today, head to uptown Charlotte for a Charlotte Knights game. This is the first season the Class AAA affiliate of the Chicago White Sox has played in the new BB & T Ballpark, and fans can’t get enough of it.

The uptown business crowd loves being able to walk from their offices to the stadium to catch a mid-week evening game before heading home

Kannapolis Intimidators www.intimidatorsbaseball.com

The minor league baseball team in nearby Kannapolis features one of the most unique names in all of baseball.

The Intimidators are the Class A affiliate of the Chicago White Sox, and they are named after legendary NASCAR racer — and Kannapolis native — Dale Earnhardt. The team plays in the South Atlantic League and features players just beginning their journey to the major leagues.

Home games at the 4,700-seat CMC-Northeast Stadium are about as intimate as a fan could ask for.

So bring your glove and keep your eyes peeled for foul balls and home runs or just sit back and watch the fireworks displays that light up the sky after weekend games. The Intimidators play from April through early September.

Davidson College Wildcats www.davidsonwildcats.com

In the Southern Conference, they say, “There is Davidson; then there is everybody else.” Well, maybe it’s just the passionate Wildcat fans who profess this belief, but for Lake Norman sports fans looking for a nearby college team, most everyone agrees the Davidson College Wildcats boast formidable teams in a number of college athletics from fall through the springtime.

Head Coach Bob McKillop continues to lead the NCAA Division One men’s basketball program, the football team has alum Paul Nichols as its coach, and a handful of women’s teams from basketball and field hockey to tennis and lacrosse dominate the athletic scene at Davidson. The Wildcats basketball teams play home games on campus at Belk Arena and come every

March, they are perennial favorites to return to the NCAA’s “Big Dance.”

Charlotte native and NBA standout, Stephen Curry, took the Wildcats to the Elite Eight in 2008.

Altogether, Davidson fields more than 20 men and women’s athletic teams. Nearly one in four Davidson students participates in varsity sports.

If it’s football you want then it is football you’ll get it at UNC Charlotte.

The school signed its first-ever recruiting class in early 2012 and built a state-of-the-art stadium on its campus in northeast Charlotte.

The team kicked off its first official season on August 31, 2013 with a 52-7 victory over Campbell University.

Basketball is also widely followed on campus. The 9,000-seat Halton Arena is located inside the Barnhardt Student Activity Center and is the home to the Charlotte 49ers men’s and women’s teams, which compete in Conference USA. Soccer fanatics know the 49ers can score when it counts, as the men’s team advanced to the 2012 NCAA Division One Final Four.

North Carolina native and former NBA superstar Michael Jordan owns the team, and the recent changes he made not only in the front office but also on the floor have the team playing competitive ball once again.

Speaking of competition, Charlotte made its first ever playoff appearance in 2010, and with the energy in Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte growing stronger with every victory, it likely won’t be long before fans can buy tickets for post-season basketball once again.

On Course

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ONE SINGLE AREA THAT COMBINES THE OPEN OCEAN LAYOUTS OF THE CAROLINA COASTAL COURSES, THE HILLY MOUNTAIN LAYOUTS OF THE HIGHLANDS AND THE TREE-LINED LAYOUTS OF THE COURSES THAT FILL THE SANDHILLS AROUND PINEHURST, THEN LOOK NO FARTHER THAN LAKE NORMAN.

Club Selection Counts

Lake Norman’s golf courses challenge every type of golfer

BY MIKE SAVICKI

Great Lake Living at Lake Norman

With around 80 golf courses forming a network between Charlotte and Statesville, you might think the area is saturated with an overabundance of tees, fairways, bunkers and greens. If you are looking for one single area that combines the open ocean layouts of the Carolina coastal courses, the hilly mountain layouts of the highlands and the tree-lined layouts of the courses that fill the Sandhills around Pinehurst, then look no farther than Lake Norman.

Need proof? Just ask Donald Trump. The real estate mogul purchased the lake’s newest and most exclusive country club — formerly known as The Point — and renamed it Trump National Golf Club Charlotte. Trump improvements to the already spectacular Greg Normandesigned course include longer holes, redesigned bunkers, plus upgraded amenities and a more exclusive look and feel to the Nantucket-inspired village center.

Several other private courses are also keeping pace, as they afford golfers the luxury of living and playing in the same neighborhood. The Peninsula Club in Cornelius, NorthStone Country Club in Huntersville and River Run Country Club in Davidson combine golfing excellence with strong neighborhood identity. The Peninsula Club joins Trump National with unmatched water views, while River Run and NorthStone boast the classic North Carolina look of rolling terrain and tree-lined fairways.

Recreational golfers can also find challenges and instruction on public courses. Mooresville Golf Course combines a Donald Ross-designed front nine that opened in 1949 with a Porter Gibson back nine that opened in 1977. Mooresville Golf Course is also home to First Tee Lake Norman, a program that provides learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and values for young people through the game of golf.

Birkdale Golf Club in Huntersville combines the look and feel of a private course with the affordability and appeal of a public facility. The Arnold Palmer-designed public course offers a state-of-the-art lighted practice facility, including a driving range, short-game area and putting green, as well as group and individual instruction by PGA professionals.

It’s convenient to the interstate and within walking distance of the popular Birkdale Village shopping complex.

And courses such as Cowan’s Ford Golf Club in Stanley and Westport Golf Club in Denver have tweaked their layouts and upgraded their facilities to attract new members, while others, such as Pine Island Country Club in Charlotte, have undertaken multi-million dollar renovation projects to create an entirely new look and feel.

Year-round programs and leagues exist at most courses for men, women, juniors and seniors of all abilities. At River Run, David Ross, director of golf, has established a well-respected junior development program that currently has a handful of juniors well on their way to A Product of Lake Norman CURRENTS Magazine

2013-14

earning full college scholarships.

And the area’s golfing calendar is also full of spring, summer and fall charity events that allow golfers to test their skills on courses they might not otherwise have the opportunity to play on their own.

In fact, when Ross first came to Davidson in 1990 to open River Run Country Club, golf at Lake Norman was still in its infancy. A handful of established courses dotted the landscape, and few programs existed to help golfers elevate their game.

Thanks to Ross, as well as a host of other top-notch area teaching pros, the Lake Norman area is now developing standout junior, collegiate and pro golfers.

Fans of the game don’t have to travel far to see the pros compete.

During the first week of May, the Wells Fargo Championship brings the PGA TOUR to Charlotte as top pros compete at the Quail

Hollow Club. And in October, PGA Champions Tour legends such as Tom Kite, Nick Price and Bernhard Langer compete in nearby Conover at Rock Barn Golf & Spa. The Greater Hickory Kia Classic at Rock Barn, which began in 2003 and is played on the Robert Trent Jones, Jr.designed championship course, includes special events, attractions and three days of fierce competition among golf’s greatest legends.

If you want to see if you can beat a Carolina Panther, Charlotte Bobcat/ Hornet or NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion, then grab your bag, make a tee time and keep your eyes peeled.

The lake’s courses host celebrities from the world of sports every week of the year. You never know who you might run into on the course or enjoying a drink on the 19th hole.

And you never know what challenges await you — no matter which course you choose at Lake Norman.

Recreational golfers can also find challenges and instruction on public courses.
