The Tuckertown Reservoir is the reservoir formed by the Tuckertown Dam 35°29′05″N 80°10′36″W / 35.48472°N 80.17667°W at the North end of Badin Lake and the High Rock Dam 35°36′03″N 80°14′06″W / 35.60083°N 80.23500°W at the bottom of High Rock Lake in the Uwharrie Lakes Region in the U.S. state of North Carolina.
The reservoir is located in Davidson County, Stanly County, Montgomery County, and Rowan County and contains the wide and navigable waterway of the Yadkin River. The dam itself, at the south end of the reservoir, spans the river between Harris Township in Stanly County and Eldorado Township in Montgomery County. Used for hydroelectric power generation, Tuckertown Lake was historically managed and operated by the Alcoa company, but in February 2017 Alcoa sold the power generation to Cube Hydro Carolinas LLC, an affiliate of Cube Hydro Partners, LLC.
