About B. Everett Jordan Lake

Set in North Carolina, B. Everett Jordan Lake is a 13,937-acre reservoir. The surface sits about 217 ft above sea level and the deepest point is roughly 39 ft down.

Water level on this page comes from USGS gauge 02098197 (B. Everett Jordan Lake at Dam near Moncure, NC), about 7 mi from the middle of the lake. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

With this much open water, waves build quickly when the wind lines up with the long axis of the lake. Pick a launch on the upwind shore on breezy days and the ride home is easier. Reservoir levels move with releases and inflow, so ramps and beaches can change week to week. The water level page tracks that day by day.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
