Campsite AtlasKing'S Mountain Point Picnic Pavilion (Nc)
King's Mountain Point Day Use Area is located on the shores of Badin Lake north of Troy, NC in Montgomery County. The biggest fishing hole in the Uwharrie National Forest is Badin Lake. This 5,350-acre impoundment of the Yadkin River was built in 1917 by the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) to generate hydroelectric power for the aluminum plant at Badin. The eastern shore borders the National Forest and the lake is well stocked with catfish, bream, largemouth, white and striped bass. The King's Mountain Point Day Use Area offers access to 4 accessible fishing piers, the Badin Lake Hiking Trail and a 0.5 mile paved, accessible trail around the day use area with splendid views of the lake.
