===Lake Hickory=== Lake Hickory was created on the [[Catawba River]] in 1927 with the completion of the Oxford Dam {{convert|11|mi}} northeast of Hickory. The dam parallels the [[North Carolina Highway 16|NC Highway 16]] bridge over the Catawba River between [[Interstate 40]] and [[Taylorsville, North Carolina|Taylorsville]]. It is {{convert|122|ft|m}} high, with an overall length of {{convert|1200|ft|m}}. The spillway section of the dam is {{convert|550|ft|m}} long. Lake Hickory was named after the City of Hickory and runs along its northern edge. The lake covers almost {{convert|4223|acre|km2}} with {{convert|105|mi|km}} of shoreline. Full pond elevation is {{convert|935|ft|m}}. Lake Hickory is a reliable source of water for the Cities of Hickory and [[Conover, North Carolina|Conover]] and the Town of [[Long View, North Carolina|Long View]], while also functioning as a recreation hub for boating, fishing, and other water based activities. [[Duke Energy]] provides five public access areas on the lake in cooperation with the [[North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission]].
