Lake Tillery In North Carolina

Boating, camping and fishing.

Enjoy boating adventures at Lake Tillery, a 5,200-acre lake located in the central part of the state, at Norwood, NC. Two marinas and a boat rental location offer everything you need for boating and water sport activities. However one of the biggest draws to fishermen are the giant blue catfish that swim in this reservoir. Worms, shrimp and cut bait are some of the favorite baits for catfish fishing in Lake Tillery. Healthy populations of bass, crappie and perch reside with plentiful sunfish making this a lake for the whole family where everyone can enjoy the "catching"! Lots of shoreline miles lined with trees and docks make excellent places to cast a lure. Fishing from shore is popular, with easy access all around the lake.
