Lake Julian Info

Lake Julian is a man-made lake started in 1964 as an integral part of the Power Plant project. The current CP&L power plant supplies electricity to the entire City of Asheville and most of the Buncombe County area. The lake is named after Julian West, a former plant director who died that year (1964). By way of Buncombe County Parks and Recreation Service the lake provides great pleasure to paddle boaters, sailors, and fisherman. Powerboats and swimming are prohibited on Lake Julian . The deepest part of the lake is 108ft. 

Thanks to the warm water from the power plant, we enjoy sailing all year on Lake Julian.
